My initial point was that university dollars aren't being wasted because big time programs aren't relying on them. Look at the post I responded to.

There are X number of dollars to go around. If they go one place, they don't go to another. I do believe the way people spend their money reflects their priorities.

I never said people shouldn't donate to a university or athletics program. However, the amount of dollars being donated so that certain programs can have meaningless putting greens, locker rooms with individual tv's, nap rooms, a ridiculous number of unnecessary support staff, etc is excessive.

Sure, many worthwhile charities have a lot of employees and a lot if money. Many charities that claim to be worthwhile don't use their money wisely and are borderline scams. Most importantly, there's still lots of unmet need.

I don't know how you spend your money. I don't know whether you care about people and/if how you help them. I hope you do because for some reason this hit a nerve for you. I don't know why you took this personally.
