[quote=Anonymous]I was a UVA cheerleader (though 10 years ago) and despite being a school with a strong athletic program, cheerleading / dance team / pep band, were all lumped together as spirit programs" and got very little budget. It was incredibly frustrating, we were expected to raise our own money by coaching camps, be pimped out (not in a sexual way but in a "go be a friendly pretty face way....) for recruiting and donors, do PR at community events, sideline cheer at all basketball games (which is a lot of time and we got none of the academic support or accommodations other athletes get), and yet we couldn't compete b/c we didn't have enough money when in reality thats all most of us wanted to do. The kicker was traveling with the team and getting a $35 per diem for food. Athletes get free everything, laundry done, etc - we had to do a lot more than normal athletes AND pay out of pocket if we wanted more than a subway sandwich for lunch [/quote]
