I was a Mike Malloy fan during that time. I contemplated applying there until I saw the tuition.

Mike Malloy, Fred Hetzel, Dick Snyder, Barry Teague, Don Davidson....those were the basketball players I idolized as a young 'un. The first college basketball game I remember caring about was Davidson vs Duke at the old Charlotte Coliseum on Independence Blvd. I must have been in fourth or fifth grade.

I wanted to go to Davidson more than anything, but my father saw the tuition and put on the brakes. We didn't know anything bout financial aid, and the "guidance counselor" at our high school was the guy who dealt with behavioral issues, not college admissions issues. In 1972 it was ~$10,000 per year. I just looked up Davidson tuition now....

Cost of Attendance : $90,524
Tuition & Fees : $69,065
Room & Board : $18,384
Books & Supplies : $825
Other Expenses : $2,000
Cost of Attendance : $90,524

With inflation, $10k in 1972 is equal to a shade over $79k now. So while college has outpaced inflation, it’s not nearly as bad as it appears at first glance.
