Let’s not forget that UND sports brings in a lot of money to the school in general. 

It would be interesting to know what would happen if Athletics were seperate from Academics in the budget.  I’d can only assume that if Athletics were forced to be self-sustaining that they would go under rather quickly.

Rob, you’ve called for a halt to the subsidized education system.  Lets start with sports.   

Free,

I think the Sioux probably make enough to fund themselves.  But you’re right for most colleges.

But, here’s a thought: How about we stop subsidizing higher education altogether?  That’s something I could get behind. 

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

Ok, but when revenues go down cause people arent educated and can’t make as much dont complain when the libs raise your taxes.

The only way expanding the base and dropping the burden works is if people can make more money.  

Also, your not allowed to take advantage of any benifits an educated society provide, ok? 

Raising a $1 million would be cake to do.  There are plenty of alumni and supporters out there to surmount a viable fight.  GO SIOUX!!!

As a graduate of one of the Fighting Sioux past rivals (North Dakota State), I would even send money to help them fight to retain their nickname and logo. During my years at NDSU, the best cheer coming from the student section at the "New Fieldhouse" and Dacatoh Field was: "THE SIOUX SUCK, SIOUX SUCK, SIOUX SUCK". Now, if only UND had the courage to play us in sports again.

Why would you assume that tax revenues would go down? You seem to have a lot of assumptions that you base your economic "reality" around Dustin. You’re like most liberals in that regard.

It’s NDSU who doesn’t want to agree on terms for football.  NDSU is D-I, they’re too good for little ol’ UND.  It’s all about the money now for SU. 

Now, if only UND had the courage to play us in sports again.

NDSU jumped because they couldn’t beat us anymore.  They figured that with double the scholarshps they’d win.  I think it’s fitting not to play the cheaters.

More seriously, athletics are a huge part of marketing a university to students and alumni.  There aren’t many schools that don’t rely on athletics.

That being said if UND requires private doners to  pay for the defense it’ll happen.  But don’t be surprised if the university get’s less money in other donations.

Because dummy, generaly speaking educated workers earn more than ones without a college degree!

Having been a delivery driver three seperate times during college I can tell you he’s probably making more money driving than he could make at a "real job."

I’m trying to pursue a professional career, but driving is always a lucrative fall-back option. 

yeah, too bad the oil companies are screwing you, right Free....

Careful with the computer geeks thing.

Why? Geek isn’t a derogatory term.  Plus I can describe myself however I see fit.

This is America still, right? 

I thought he was describing NDSU grads.  Sorry...  /web confusion.

Jeez, dont use tuition, I’ll get mad.
