STrib Op-Ed: Has sports spending grown incompatible with the U's mission?

[JTsolo612]

I will preface this by saying I love Gopher athletics, and do NOT want them eliminated. However, one of the original Big 10 members was the U of Chicago. They left the Big 10 in 1939 and abolished varsity football to focus on academics. Looks like they have done more than OK academically since then.

Nonsense! Northwestern, Stanford, the Freakin Ivy League! Etc. All have sports and top of the line academics. I hate you whiny hippies crying about big sports at College Campuses. Hate to break it to ya, IT IS WHAT IT IS! YOU WONT CHANGE IT! Damn hippies.
