You brought Football into the post complaining about high tuition, the fact that too much money was being spent on football. The coaches and the stadiums.
No, the profit from football covers the losses from all of the other athletic programs it supports.
No I do not. I understand the issues that are driving the coast of tuition. My point is was/is higher education supposed to be this way? While the two may not be connected, it just seems a bit unseemly when tuition rates are what they are to spend so damn much on athletics. It's kinda like with the problems we have in this country with higher costs for everything, should we be sending billions to the Ukraine to help fund a war they won't win?
Setting politics (Ukraine) aside, the real question should be what the net benefit (profit) should be used for.
Penn State wrestling just signed Marcus Blaze, the number one recruit in the country. Ohio State offered Marcus a NIL deal of 6 years, $400,000 per year (2.4 million dollars) and he clearly turned it down to wrestle for THE Nittany Lions. In Cael we trust.
Granted Softball, Volleyball, etc are losing their collective ***** but NIL (Happy Valley United) is changing all of that too.I get you for the most part, I just think costs are outrageous for every school, athletic powerhouse or not.
Because more people need to have the "Stupid Talk" with their kids when selecting schools. My Daughter was selected for the famous Art school in Savanna (SCAD - 40K per year) as she wanted to be an Interior designer. So, I sat down with her and we worked out an average salary for an interior designer, what her monthly student loans would be, average apartment, etc. She was in the negative before we got to bills and food. Light Bulb moment. Did the same with my Son who got into Kentucky (63k per year). My Daughter and my Son went to smaller schools and they both graduated with less than $20k of student loan debt which is manageable for them now that they're employed.
OK. I'll tell you again: Every other Penn State sport besides football and basketball (which shows a small profit) loses money. Including your beloved wrestling program, which was $800K in the red last year.Penn State wrestling just signed Marcus Blaze, the number one recruit in the country.

Tell me again how the other sports are losing money?
Penn State Wrestling probably makes money as it’s a premier program and central PA is big on wrestling. So even if the students aren’t packing the stands, people from nearby towns are.Penn State wrestling just signed Marcus Blaze, the number one recruit in the country.

Billionaires love the people who actually pay taxes to carry the burden for them. Rich guys are really good at keeping their money and hiding it from taxation.
Leave politics where they belong. And if you think a politician's goal is to save people, send me your brain so I can fertilize my tomatoes.
You're kids are lucky to have fiscally responsible parents! Plenty of dumb parents out there that care more about the bragging rights of a prestigious school than the actual cost/ benefit ratio.
You have a bad week last week?

Brains not good fertilizer for tomatoes.
Summer garden is gone. but fall garden in full swing. Cabbages, bok choy, swiss chard, broccoli, spinach, lettuces, carrots, brussells sprouts.. good times get that leaf mold going!
if you start cabbages and bok choy early enough, they can last into the low teens. Last year I had 6 cabbage last until I pulled them in late Jan. I did have to cover them several times when it got super cold.
U should post somr pics
