Isn't a good way to resolve this argument an analysis of the schools US News top 50 or 100, which is rough approximation of academic quality (or at the very least prestige)? See if there is a correlation between ranking and athletic success and exposure for public universities. You'd have to consider bias naturally, but at least it'd be more empirical and constructive than repeatedly throwing the same unsupported assertions back and forth like an old, tattered football.

Great karma pissyd very classy as is the norm for your anonymous message. Anyways I'm sad that you missed the point of my post as it was to corroborate what you said rather than try to boost my self-esteem by boasting about the college I attend. I find it disappointing that my support towards your point was misinterpreted so egregiously, as I feel it contributes to a unnecessary level of forum discord. I hope in the future you will approach my posts with more respect and open minded thought than you did here.
you've been at yale for - what? - 2 years now? and your prose writing is still absolutely torturous. poor show on the part of your professors to not correct that.
Isn't it obvious I didn't expend any effort writing that post? Trolling in my sleep, as it were.

your writing tries immensely too hard. like a neglected child just dying to win a nod of affection from a distant father.

Of 53 institutions surveyed by Bloomberg, 46 diverted money to sports in their fiscal years ended in 2010, based on financial reports to the National Collegiate Athletic Association obtained from state schools under open-records laws.

“Athletics programs are always a net loss, and every economic study that’s been done says that it brings in donations, but it costs more than the donations it brings in,” Siegel said in an interview. “It’s much bigger than it should be, and Schiano’s salary is totally ridiculous. But the real problem is the administration is top-heavy.” He said he resents football spending less than other examples of waste.

Interesting article about how one of the nations oldest research universities is being drained by the football program. I am sure  the other 45 schools found to be diverting funding have similar stories.
