Where I went the funding pools were entirely separate. Sports pays for sports stuff (buildings, staff, recruitment, etc. and does some endowment stuff additionally) and the academic stuff comes from tuition and academic grants. Sports drives name recognition and also boosts enrollment rates.

Its bad for parking, but it’s just how business works. Maybe if we were in a country that funded higher ed this wouldn’t be a problem, but we don’t have any pure universities outside maybe some community colleges.

Why is some shitty author no one ever heard of who did a debate or two in 2016 being mentioned… Anywhere?

Nowhere. It could also didn’t say (but could have said) any school that participates in the Greek system is just a party network that occasionally gives degrees.

I don’t like sports or Greek stuff but I don’t like downplaying the quality of academics of an institution even more than that. Lots of us gave a decade or more to the academic parts of those places and it is shitty to write it off as an afterthought to sports or frats or whatever. It tastes bad to read shit like this after paying more student loans than the cost of the house of the person tweeting it, you know?

No, really, tell me another. If you want to be a useless and vacuous asshole, dance for the rest of us. It’s apparently all you have to offer the class.

Haha, that’s funny as hell. Tell me another one. I can see why people like you.

Pavlova doesn’t exist in the states anywhere I’ve ever been.

And that thesis doesn’t mean shit.

You gonna downplay my 11 years of blood, sweat, and tears for a PhD because I went to a state school? I’d be happy to prove how much bullshit that is against any ivy League engineer you know.

Having graduated and worked for Purdue and NASA, both of these are not the case there. Coaches are 4x president salary, and the training facility (including the new one) doesn’t compare to something like the water training astronaut facility at JSC.

Sports facilities are nice, but they come from a different lot of money and are less funded than, for example, the engineering dept.

Edit: to be extra clear, the sentiment of over paying for sports is fine, but for anyone who graduated for a state school like me, you’re taking pot shots at my degree. And so while I agree with the sentiment, heartily fuck you if you didn’t put in your 11 years of undergrad and grad school at an ivy league university where this isn’t true.

This seems inaccurate unless we are considering sums of salaries. If the sports staff makes more than the academic staff this is true. Otherwise your university just sometimes makes bad decisions.

Ah. They were blindsided.

Uh… Why is there only one egg?

I believe I read people donate much less if money is involved. Part of the motivation is the altruism of the donation.

I’m partial to this one personally

Thanks that’s not what ai was expecting!
