if colleges want to save money then they should eliminate football...the most expensive sport and sure, the big universities with the steroid players can pull in lots of money, but the feeder colleges,the ones that are willing to take a beating every year, loose money constantly...

I hope the big drop in income means the 6 figure college professors get the boot.....

Southpoint has gone to 60 seats from 250

Predictable. Stick it to the whitey golfers.

Meanwhile, the campus Institute for LBHTQ bestiality studies remains fully funded.

[PIF]

Plenty of money for the administrators and faculty

Golf.... Racist whites walking around with clubs. ...

Exactly. But can’t touch that endowment.

That's because most people that golf in the U.S. are white.

I am just going to post this here.

One of the guys I have been watching but assumed his tickets were not real because they were just kind of unbelievable...just got confirmed.

He in on C. M. for the current Workaday tournament. He will win over a million bucks if Colin wins the tournament but has already won a bunch off Colin yesterday. Results today still pending

Sure enough, Betrivers just posted about his bets

He also won huge last week, too.

Kind of blows my mind how much he bet..and he actually has a shot at winning.

Since I took a bet on Colin K I hope he goes all the way

Hell, golf and tennis are the only damned sports I can watch anymore because they don’t throw leftist “woke” propaganda in your face constantly.

Cutting ... men's and women's swimming and diving, men's and women's golf, and men's lightweight rowing ... reducing the number of recruited athletes in incoming classes by 10%.

If you cut the athletic programs and scholarships for white athletes, you ensure all of the remaining athletes are "diverse". That's what diversity is about, right?

Dartmouth is not the only school doing this. It's a national trend. Swimming and diving, golf, tennis, equestrian, sailing, rowing, squash, volleyball, etc are being cut in many schools. Obviously, these sports are "low revenue".

Dartmouth has an almost $6 billion endowment. Plenty of money for Diversity Commissars not one cent for golf.

Exactly what I was thinking, these Universities with huge endowments are crying poverty and cutting programs. Explain the need to cut golf a sport where the players are rarely in close proximity to each other and play in wide open areas with plenty of sun and fresh air, hell it's the last sport that should be cut.

"And what of the college campuses, with big numbers of buildings and grounds and ongoing maintenance needed, but with less income coming in, to pay for all of that?"

Peak Brick and Mortar Higher Edumacation.

Moderation is not over rated.
