The debates in Oklahoma City over the wisdom of coughing over arena money while other pressing issues exist is painfully familiar to longtime Seattle residents.
Meanwhile most professors are on one-year rolling contracts that can be cut at any moment - especially in the humanities. The main reason I did not go into a Masters and a Doctorate, even though I really wanted to, is that all my professors and advisors told me how tough it is to find a stable job, even with PhDs from prestigious as hell universities.
But hey, I’m glad Coach Dickhead makes 20m a year from public money.
The fact that my state school (Rutgers) gets ~140m a year, and can expect taxpayers and tuition to cover any loses they garner doing that, to cosplay a D1 football school is nuts. Half the school is Indian and asian and couldn’t give less of a shit about football - give us like 1% of that budget for a funded cricket team and we’d demolish.
The bigger scam is publicly funded colleges getting massive stadiums for like 8 games per year.

I suppose. Aren’t those stadiums built by private donations?

The issue would be finding other NCAA Schools to play cricket against
Sounds like a national championship to me!
Maybe they can start with Princeton.
It would be affirmative action for south asians just like squash and crew is affirmative action for WASPs.
… and lax and swimming…
Yes, but they don’t get to move the team for any reason whatsoever, and they rarely, if ever, get new stadiums.
