Good news.  Big time college athletics is a cesspool of greed, corruption and short-term thinking.  Those dynamics [I]always[/I] win over the long haul, but it's nice to see when there's a small, fleeting victory for sanity.

FWIW, the whole notion of "financial challenges" is laughable on its face.  Can't "afford" the costs of the current landscape?  Then don't participate in an ever-escalating, and perpetually stupid, arms race.

[I]"Guys, my neighbor bought a Lamborghini, so I need to buy a Lamborghini.  But I don't make enough money.  So I'm asking all my friends and family to donate to the 'Buy Scooch a Lambo' fund, so that I can compete with my neighbor!  Don't you want me to compete with my neighbor?!  Don't we have fun when I can compete with my neighbor?! Just give me money.  Ideally every year, forever. Oh, and I'm taking a 3rd mortgage on my house too.  That ought to do it!  For now."[/I]

What a colossally idiotic system.  College sports: Amazing on game day, disgusting as pig sH!!.t every other day.
