OT, but Still Relevant--Micron Layoffs

[skippy57.0]

Micron finally dropped the bomb today, announcing it is cutting 15 percent of its labor force, mostly from its Boise operations. That translates to about 1,300 jobs lost to the Idaho economy, which translates to tougher times for higher education all over the state.

not relevant - absolutely nothing to do with idaho state university athletics

When the governor imposes another holdback on all universities within Idaho, you can bet some of that holdback will impact Idaho State athletics.

the only reason this could ever be considered relevant to ISU athletics is that nobody wants to donate money right now to ISU football, so they have to rely on state funds a lot more than a school that can get money from private donors. But, I would say I'm with Spartan, to say that this is relevant to ISU athletics is quite the stretch.
