Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2087076, member: 716"] Disagree (big surprise) with all of your take on the article. It's clear that Phil Arnold and the others are concerned that, with a finite pot of money, athletics and athletics infrastructure spending is necessarily occurring at the expense of other areas (here, payroll). There's no indication that anyone's opposed to athletics spending, just that a) everyone should be mindful of the administration's priorities and b) athletics is a dangerous beast whose potential power ought to be checked. If SU's really so poor (as is suggested publicly) that they have to buy out staff, perhaps they're too poor to afford a Dome renovation right now. That's probably not the case, but it's a stance worth challenging. None of us wants to see the school move in the direction Rutgers did. [/QUOTE]
