Also, from some boner on the SR website..
"It is wise fiscal policy to invest in structures that get used about twenty times a year. At most.
Especially while raising tuition double digits each year.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it’s not from public monies, but I always thought once funds were donated to a university they became public. I was a treasurer at a local community college for the student body and there were always carryover funds from fees collected from students that remained unspent. The students didn’t receive refunds, the money, by law, became state property."
I have had 10x more people ask me about EWU since we won the ship than before. Investing in this football team is the smartest move the university could make.
