On the flip side, think of how much more good we could do if all the athletic money went into academics.

The athletic department money wouldn’t ever be given to the school in the first place if athletics wasn’t a thing. That’s sad, and stupid… but it’s also true for the most part.

My comment was rhetorical.

Occasionally I feel like we need a reminder that the primary mission of a university is to educate and graduate students, not play football games.

This is sarcastic, right?

Glad someone caught it

Does $50 million seem low to get one’s name on the engineering program of a major research institution?
