Message: [QUOTE="Dogdude, post: 4965257, member: 13168"] Yeah, more applicants just means they can be more selective. There is only so much room for so many students. And the general profit/loss status on any college or university is that all departments lose money save for the sciences, and that's only if they do some top-notch research. You need a huge endowment to keep things rolling, and generous donors to keep athletics moving. It's unfortunate, but if it's all about money, Uconn would do best to the cut every sport save for women's and men's basketball. That's just not right, of course, but I'm wondering if a lot of the fringe sports will get demoted to club status, and for every college or university. What's it say about higher education if athletics budgets go up when the departments that are trying to train future doctors get cut? It's not easy... [/QUOTE]
