How Stupid Are They?

[rogruth]

IMO most colleges have turned into money making businesses with little regard for the students.
I say this in reference to the administrations. Some faculty may also be guilty.

Not sure about most, but certainly it is a business and that cannot be forgotten; of course if they are in one of the big sports conferences, it's all about the money. Wonder how that's going to impact some schools that count of their football and basketball revenues.....

Most of that money is tv money, hats and tee shirts. Fannys in the seats is very little money.

I agree but 80,000 t0 100,000 + in the stands is not something to be scorned.

Not relevant. I made no distinction - it's all not happening and not making them money.

80-100k seats at $20 or more each is very little money? Obviously you are independently wealthy to be able to consider $1-2 million very little money along with the money raked in for parking, food, etc.

Students get 50 percent of the tickets. $2.00 each.

Yeah, $100k seats at $33 - very little money.... Bet non-student tickets are a wee bit more....

Why not!

But it was barely more than a glorified Vo-Tech school when I lived the area. Had to get better!

Delval average cost per year $58,200.

F&M where I took my daughter to visit ~10 years ago was $50k for tuition only per semester.........even she was smart enough to figure out she was not going there. W&M was cheaper!
