What a shame. This could have been used to cure cancer.
When I grow up, I want to be like Rick.RG is improving athletics support while also working on getting costs down by endowing specific parts of the AD. Smart smart smart.
FIRST!
But what about curing cancer!
Nailed it.
Athletics also provides a means of bringing some much needed diversity to a campus which sorely lacks it.I saw where they donated $2.5 million to a journalism program last year. I assume Troll was pissed about that as well since journalists don’t cure cancer either.
The article brought to mind the bigger point that Troll misses. Athletic scholarships provide a pathway to education that many of these young men and women would never have. The ripple effect of that in our society is something we can’t measure but it is strong and far reaching. And the football program is the anchor that makes all of that possible.
And thats another huge point Troll misses. CU is lilly white. Athletics helps to bring more diversity. And I also have to say, when I hear these young black men and women who represent our school being interviewed, I couldn’t be more impressed with how well they represent CU.Athletics also provides a means of bringing some much needed diversity to a campus which sorely lacks it.
Another way it improves the educational experience of all.
And the more we all tire of their pathetic antics, the more righteous they feel in their crusade against the real world, which they’re going to “fix” with their passion and pluck. I keep hoping they’re going to grow up, but to paraphrase what he said (apparently, I didn’t listen to his ridiculous interview), he’s already all growns up.We all know what his end game is. He is the epitome of a politician. A guy with no apparent skill set who aspires to feed an ego driven by the inadequacy of his youth. He picked the low hanging fruit of a regent position to kick off his aspiring political career and is pandering to a base that probably view college athletics as a huge waste and as a plaything if the wealthy establishment.
sameI gave a small amount and have received 2 thank you cards and a personal phone call.
The service is vastly improved
