Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5356307, member: 628"] This is where Practical Scooch and Ideological Scooch come into conflict. Practical Scooch knows that this is vital for SU to have any chance of competing at a championship level in any sport, and certainly for football and men's basketball. Ideological Scooch thinks it's ridiculous, and perhaps obscene, that an entity that is, for all intents and purposes, running a professional sports franchise to ask its fans to pay expenses on their behalf. Can you imagine getting an email from the Knicks or Red Sox asking for donations to [I]pay their players[/I]?! I do hope those who parrot the "pay or shut up" line at least acknowledge how profoundly f__%^ed up this model is. But, practically speaking, if we want SU to swim in these waters athletically, there seems to be no other choice. Blah. [/QUOTE]
