And people will go to a school because they’re fans of the football team, or send their kids there because they’re fans of the team. To act like the sports programs do nothing to help the university, or their athletes is disingenuous
Maybe that shouldn’t be why someone chooses to go to a university. Maybe their academics and their areas of expertise should be why. It’s supposed to prepare you for a career, not give you a convenient way to watch your favorite team.
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.

No one is taking pot shots at your degree, lol. I don’t see how that is even a thing in your head. We’re saying, pay the players and put some of that money back into the university. When the head coach makes 4 million per year, something is not right.
UW football coach Kalen DeBoer is the 44th highest-paid coach in NCAA college football, with a total annual pay of $4.2 million, USA Today found.

Lol imagine thinking this is a slight against you.
Anyway comparing your intellectual degree, to your sports scholarship, is stupid. You’re there for your muscles, not your brains, and even your school ride proves that. Get saltier.
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.
The head coaches typically make 10x the salary of the school pres. they have huge staffs and expensive facilities.
The athletic building in Ann Arbor looks like something NASA would build.

Cool cool. I see this engagement is important to you, tell me something else funny man.
You need to talk to someone?

Class? Go fuck your hat
