Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4996922, member: 71"] Without context it's impossible to determine if the debt any of these schools are carrying is a problem. We are currently in an environment where any debt that is four to six years old is a massive bargain while anything new is at a cost that hasn't been seen in decades. I'll wager heavily that in many cases, schools listed above wish they borrowed more in 2019 than the did. Another thing that needs to be considered is what the debt was used for. Even at recent interest rates, if it was used to build additional student housing, there is a very strong likelyhood that it was a quality investment. I cannot speak on the athletic department debt without knowing what the sources were (I cannot see a bank loan to cover staffing salary increases) and how the funds were used. [/QUOTE]
