Per Chip:
Robert Bruininks had a favorite quip about how his job performance as president of the University of Minnesota got analyzed and scrutinized by the public.
"Each and every day I was evaluated more for the success of our entertainment programs than I was for the academic mission purposes and activities," he said this past week.
By entertainment he meant athletics. It was his standard one-liner coated in some reality.
The next U president might want to borrow his line. The gist will never grow stale.

Next University of Minnesota president will be chief caretaker of athletics — like it or not
Athletics certainly are not the most important thing happening on campus. But they will play an outsized role in the school's reputation and the next president's success.
