If I had to speculate, I'd say he is not. I don't know anything about the man, but the website is described as, "a collaborative news site that gives you the tools to keep our government transparent and accountable."

Reading between the lines, I'd guess he is interested in how much money the school is "wasting" on the campaign, considering the condition of the state budget crisis and rising tuition. On the other hand, professors should be aware more than anyone else what a successful sports program does for a school. They may not like it, but athletics are the face of the institution. It is no coincidence that UConn's applications increased by 30% for the Fall 2000 semester and again in 2005. Academics are obviously and undeniably important. They are the load baring walls of the house, but athletics is the paint and landscaping.
