My Sacrifice for College Running

Earlier today I had my final meeting with my academic advisor. We discussed the plan for my 5th year. The news was not too good. Two of the courses I needed were only offered in the winter term of our trimester schedule. The problem here is that I hoped I wouldn't have to pay for school that term. Without indoor track ellegibility I could have gotten away with finishing my degree in two terms, fall and spring, cross country and outdoor track. 

Well now I am faced with a conundrum. If I decide that a full year of school is too expensive ($40,000+) to try to do with zero scholarship money that I have received over the last 4 years, then I could just finish up the four courses I need for my English journalism major in a single term in the winter. With this I would effectively be ending my time as a north central runner this spring.

Alternatively I could pay $40,000 or more for 2 more seasons of Intercolliagate running and a double major in English Journalism and Interactive Media Studies. 

The question really is, how much do you think running is worth?
