Heed your warnings? War-chest?

It's a freaking athletic department. It's sports.

Stop making it sound like they're going to aim ICBM's at our campus.

Ummm... have you looked at state support for higher ed lately? We're about as far from 1968 as Court Street is from the Champs-Élysées.

I know. A highly educated workforce is not attractive to employers.

Here's a chart you might find interesting:

Monroe. A moment please. Where does the $280.00 subsidy come from? Oh, also what is the deductible for your $444.00 policy? Under your plan, how many young people will opt out to pay what in penalties at tax time?

Monroe did work for Countrywide Financial prior to the industry meltdown. So maybe he loves debt, much like the Developer in Chief who takes office today.

Again, context is needed. Obama and the Fed saved the economy after Bush took the keys to drive it into a ditch.

There's a reason for the debt.

Now, fighting two wars entirely on the credit card of national debt (without providing specific taxpayer funding to support the wars) is a new idea ..Bush II...that significantly added to the national debt.

Yes, the national debt is high but Congress approved the spending for reasons, not just to max out the credit card for jollies.



What's the net spending on education (tuition, loans, whatever) over the years a % of government spending.

Concentrating on one item alone gives a distorted viewpoint.


So, being excited about a recruiting class as a way of being over-excited ignores attrition thru such as injuries, grades, lack of interest...and removes the attention from the most important stats...such as no MACC 12 years, worse record this year than last, lost 3 of last 4, Miami returns an experienced qb who went 17 tds and only 1 int.




Don't see any way all can be covered for less premium and deductible without mandating all are included. Look up "adverse selection." It's what caused Arizona to grant the alleged 116% increase.

Did not, does not have to be this way. We managed to go 200+ years without "crushing" debt? Perhaps our leaders could stand some insights beginning with Kennedy's "Ask not what ......."

This is classic. Pot meet kettle.

In the rush to Siberia, my simple point was missed. I thought it was obvious, but apparently it was not. While we periodically hear about "cuts to higher education", the reality is that higher education costs have not been cut. Instead they have grown at a faster pace than almost anything. At some point there may need to be actually cuts to the growth rate of higher education expenses. Could some of these cuts affect intercollegiate athletics? Of course.

Since I'm no longer replying to a certain poster I have to give this a +1000!
