Hey guys, whatever happened to education first with sports being extracurricular IF their grades were B+ or better? Colleges and universities should educate not turn into corporate monstrosities.
The whole conversation is fallacious. They wouldn’t be trying to figure out how to pay for the renovations, they would be trying to figure out how to get the taxpayers to pay for the renovations.College athletics are no different than pro athletics when it comes to milking taxpayers for new stadiums.
According to the CPI Inflation Calculator I called up on the internet, $30,000 in 1980 dollars is equivalent to $85,457 in 2015. In terms of purchasing power, $30,000 in the 1980s wasn’t all that paltry. `Oh, and R. French – That’s funny. Thanks for attempting to lighten our day.
Just like government… promise anything, then when the time comes you will be out of office. The new politicians can say well WE never made that promise.
strictures: ESU level teams are farm clubs of the pros, and high school is the lower level. A winning coach outranks a Nobel laureate, winning being their equivalent of publish or perish.

Geez, all those lifetime ticket buyers from the 80’s were supposed to be dead by now. Have they no honor?

@Alabama AlBe fair, the modern $85,457 DOES give you tail-gating privileges besides just parking!

Muffler repair shops learned that trick to avoid lifetime deals, “while you own the car” so the parallel would be lifetime of the stadium.
