During the 2009-2010 school year, the NCAA will suspend their collection of membership fees, according to reports. They want to take the pressure off of the school a bit, as many colleges are feeling the strain of the economy. In fact, schools across the country have decided to cancel some of their sports programs, put new facility building projects on the back burner, give discounts on tickets to boost sales, and more. 
How much will the schools save? That depends on the division, but dues range from $900-$1,800. Every little bit counts in this economy.
Combined, the schools will save $1.3 million. The NCAA is making changes in their offices to deal with this lack of income, and these cost-efficient changes will reportedly make up for about $500,000 of that loss. They’re also reviewing Division I governance structure change proposals which, they report, could have a direct benefit for schools involved.
