Actually, it's every day and they never really tried. UofA is a taxpayer supported institution. If it isn't doing those things every day and in every way possible, it needs to start. No better time than the present. 

 

And the taxpayer support should be going to supporting students and the next generation of our economy, not to football programs. As a taxpaying citizen, I want better paid educators ... better resources ... less debt for college students than a BS football program that just drains money.

What if they found a way to do just that with the athletic department?

What if we didn't do that through the athletic department, and did it through the actual departments that do the actual work of education?

Now, that's an interesting idea.

I'd add, what Mid-Major team has elevated itself significantly to "compete" with the big boys, and sustained that, over the past 25-years? None. Zero. Nobody. A few teams have had scattered success to be interesting...to get a Top-25 ranking, and then inevitably melt into irrelevance. WMU? TCU? Marshall once? 

 

It all exists as a 6-figure stepping stone for an entire industry that frankly wouldn't exist if it weren't heavily subsidized by the debt of students and institutions. And it's time to call BULLSHIT on all the "brand exposure" folks, because how has that been working out for 99% of Colleges and Universities with declining enrollment? 

 

Yeah, OF COURSE coach Moorehead can't compete here. NOBODY can. There was a narrow Window maybe the program could have become something, in the 2000s after they built the stadium. That time is no basically 20 years ago, and it was ruined by iCoach and further ruined by firing Terry Bowden for a no-name loser from John Carroll. 

Ever heard of Boise State?

Folks are really complaining about us playing on Thursday acting like we would get more viewers on Saturday competing against the Ohio States and Alabamas when it comes to viewership? Hilarious. 

 

[dre22era]

Folks are really moving the goal post down the field now saying no mid major schools have consistent relevancy in 25 years. WTF does that have to do with us not being able to score a single damn point at home against Wyoming.

Not his fault. He told the QB to take care of the ball and the kicker to make the FG.
