Which is perfectly acceptable, but is the objective of the university to make money on sports or provide an advanced education to students who already pay an exponentially increasing tuition*?  Nationally, faculty are losing jobs while revenues for schools continue to rise and administrators make more and more.  At some point, is it more important to have a high paid athletic staff, a pile of vice presidents, or highly qualified faculty?  I personally think the dome/athletics is a revenue generator and needs to be updated, but faculty shouldn't be asked to take a pay freeze to support something that doesn't necessarily correspond to the mission of the school.  And, more importantly, their opinion shouldn't be disregarded because people think the basketball coach is more important than a geology professor.

* Which, perhaps not surprisingly, may be more related to the [URL='https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/02/09/study-increased-student-aid-not-faculty-salaries-drives-tuition']fact that students can borrow more[/URL]. If the pot never empties, why not charge more?
