A friend of mine did his MBA at Harvard in 2003/04. He was lucky to be on scholarship, but I recall when visiting him, one of his housemates said tuition fees alone would put him around US$100K out of pocket over the two years - but this was 15 years ago, and before any other living etc expenses (not to mention to opportunity costs), so it would be a lot higher now.Harvard MBA tuition fees ~AUD$200,000 and anywhere up to ~AUD$500,000 according to https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-16/real-cost-of-an-mba when considering forgone wages.
Not sure if these figures include accommodation.

How do they get dispensation from the NRL to help pay for his education, when Parra paid for Fui Fui Moi Moi's parents to come from Fiji to watch him play for the first time had to include it in the cap?Nick Politis has spoken on how they managed to "afford" Cronk, who is rumoured to be on $1.7 million over 2 years (LOL BULLSHIT!!!!!)

Sydney Roosters supremo Nick Politis has revealed Cooper Cronk's arrival at Bondi wasn't all about money.
The Roosters chairman told The Courier-Mail, a Harvard University degree sealed Cronk's fate to the Bondi club.
“We ticked the boxes in a few areas. It wasn’t all about money,” Politis told The Courier-Mail.
“Cooper is looking to go to Harvard and do an MBA in business administration.
“We’ve got salary-cap approval from the NRL to help him with his education.
“Cooper wanted to go to a club with a good coach and a good system that could help him after football as well.
“I hope he wins us a premiership while he’s here, that’s the plan.”
Politis also revealed, he would love for Cronk to stay beyond his two-year deal in a coaching capacity.
“After two years, we’re hoping Cooper will stay on and if he wants he can coach here.
"He could work with ‘Robbo’ (coach Trent Robinson) helping the halves and being a part of the club for a long time.”
According to The Courier-Mail, Cronk has signed a $1.7 million two-year deal with the Roosters.
Cheating scum.... how is that even allowed? Not to mention how have the NRL allowed this to occur, and how have they valued Cronk at less than $1 million a seaso compared to DCE/Hunt/Thurston/etc.
NRL have allowed Roosters to systematically cheat the system it seems, with their blessing.
Mate, do you remember the NRL hammered us for buying Brett Kimmorley a birthday cake and didn't put it towards the salary cap? There's no way the NRL would allow this, although many clubs can do it and pay for it and the NRL would NEVER be able to find out (they don't have access to clubs financial records).Serious question:
A number of players during their NRL careers study degrees, including postgraduate, as well as do traineeships etc. Is the Club able to pay for this outside the salary cap normally? Is there a limit in this regard?
But the cake was made from these.do you remember the NRL hammered us for buying Brett Kimmorley a birthday cake and didn't put it towards the salary cap?
I am hoping within the first 30 secs.I hope he plays and gets taken off in the first 10
I like itI am hoping within the first 30 secs.
The first tackle.
Just get Cronk to run the water like Langer, Wallace and co. I'm sure the nrl would be OK with him doing this .On Cronk, would it really be better for the Roosters for a 40-50% fit Cronk to play over a younger player, Cronk has already said that he would even play at 30% but lets be honest, he will barely be able to kick or pass. I know that throwing a rookie in the deep end is a big gamble but at least they can perform the basics, is Cronk communicating with the players on the field really that valuable?
Ahahaha, imagine it comes out that it was all for show.Cronk will be playing.
IMO: He never did injure his rotator cuff.
If you remember him getting physio in the dressing rooms after the game, that is not how you 'massage' a rotator cuff injury.
Media report it as such, but it could be a bursa injury which is pretty similar.Cronk will be playing.

When they had the final press conference the other day.Ahahaha, imagine it comes out that it was all for show.
Did Thurston debut for us in a GF? Mbye made his debut in a finals match too if memory serves me right. I couldn't care less about if he plays. If I don't hear the results of the GF till a month later it will be too soon.On Cronk, would it really be better for the Roosters for a 40-50% fit Cronk to play over a younger player, Cronk has already said that he would even play at 30% but lets be honest, he will barely be able to kick or pass.
