Athletic Budget Questions

<< < (5/5)

Spiderlegs:
I'm finding the whole "academics vs. athletics" thing a red herring that helps each side. The academics like it because it triggers such an emotional response in favor of academics and in a self-serving way diverts attention away from small departments that probably need consolidation. The administration likes it because it diverts attention away from YSU's real financial issues like the university's high overhead.

I should add that I think that the athletic budget is out of whack, but not so much so that reducing it will fix YSU woes. The real problems are elsewhere.

goodnews:
If you graduated from any college and you participated in athletics you experienced another challenge that students that did not participate cant understand.......  That is the beauty of these opportunities that cant be taken away....  For an employee to say such a thing they should be held accountable and fired.....  However, im sure the union will protect this person.... Its no different than the class warfare that plagues this country today...  Go to work, make a living, raise your kids right an shut your mouth...
