Posting a link to a THES article that showed up in one of my Google alerts, in case it's of interest to anyone.

Full-court press hits athletics as students count the costs

thx for the info.

"Much of the rising cost of athletics departments is falling on students, whose mandatory fees for housing, food and activities - including subsidies for athletics - have increased 13 per cent faster than those for tuition between 2005 and 2009."

The article does not address the way that sports provide an ongoing connection between alumni and their school.

When I saw the word "bear" instead of "bare" in Embittered's post I thought it was a story about Cal or Baylor. :lol:


If you don't like paying athletic fees there are good Division 2 or 3 schools you can attend instead.

"Bear" is correct...as in bearing a load.

"Bare" means without covering - naked.

I would like to add that 'bear' is in Latin Fero, which is a SUPER tricky word since it's conjugation is SO irregular

fero, ferre, tuli, latum,

are you kidding me? :lol:
