Message: [QUOTE="CuseOnly, post: 1232275, member: 2804"] This is an example of what a good football team and a good athletics department can mean to a university and this should be the goal. Not of course the overall dollars and donations discussed. Basically I am talking about the impact on revenue for a university overall that a good football team can have, not just for the athletics department. Tuition increases, enrollment increases more out of state enrollees, etc. Athletics have a huge value to a University and are the fact of the program, not the professors that nobody knows.
