He's making it the Players issue now. If they lie then theyll forever be hated by buckeye nation. Not only that but they lied to their coach and teammates if they declared.
 
Fuck!! Army safety blew an easy sack that would have pushed SMU out of FG range. Nooooooo!!

Shanked it! Come on Army, get a few first downs and ice this sumbitch!

I would guess Northwestern has the smallest student body out of all those schools listed.
The Texas athletic program boasts that it sends back an average of around $1.5 million a year to the school. Its football program netted a whopping $68 million in the 12-month period ending Aug. 31.

At Florida, football spent $24.4 million and brought in $68.7 million for a net profit of $44.2 million. The program will give $6 million to the university in the 2010-11 fiscal year to bring the total to $61.1 million since 1990.

"At this place, your main revenue source is football, so you're going to spend money necessary to sustain a successful football program," Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said. "If we go from playing in front of 90,000 people to playing in front of 60,000 people, you're talking about cutting sports, scholarships, personnel, and nobody wants to see that happen."

But Foley said the benefits of a successful sports program go beyond merely money. Sports help spread the word about the University of Florida, which has grown in stature nationwide over the past two decades -- a timeframe that coincides with the arrival of Steve Spurrier as coach and the rise of a once-troubled football program. (Not coincidentally, it's also when the athletic program started giving money to the school.)

"Athletics is a big window," Foley said. "It provides a look into the institution. If someone's viewing the University of Florida and looking at a great athletic program, it enhances the way people view the institution and that's all good."
...
Oregon professor Nathan Tublitz, the former co-chair at Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics, said the calculation he favors divides the amount spent on any given sport by the number of players in that sport. At Oregon, he lumped them all together and found the athletic program has a $75 million annual budget and 500 scholarship students, for an average of about $150,000 per athlete per year. Meantime, the average cost of education for an in-state student runs about $20,000 per year.

That says something about the priorities at an institution that's supposed to be more about learning and research than touchdowns and wild uniforms, Tublitz believes.

He's glad for the success Oregon's football team is enjoying this season, but wonders if this kind of money should be spent on what is essentially entertainment, especially in a bad economy.

"There is no justification for spending over $150,000 per football player per year when the rest of the student body is struggling to register for classes and to pay for books, tuition and living expenses," he said. "There is a delicate equilibrium between academics and athletics, and our university, like most other big time athletic universities, have lost that balance."

It's also worth noting here that Oregon (like I'm guessing most other schools with big athletic programs) has a student athlete specific building for tutoring and whatnot. Apparently it looks like a modern palace with an infinity pool but, get this, non-student athletes and professors aren't allowed in. Seems a bit silly.

The building is kind of an eyesore, too. The architecture doesn't fit in with the rest of campus at all. It looks like it belongs at MIT or something.

Schefter's saying he's pretty confident that Harbaugh isn't staying put at Stanford, and the word around the NFL is that he's headed back to Ann Arbor.
Speaking about the Niners' vacancy today, Schefter said, "They'd love Jim Harbaugh from Stanford. My understanding is that it's going to be very difficult for them to get him, and I don't think he'll wind up there. The sense is that Jim Harbaugh will wind up at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, coaching the Maize and Blue.

"Again, this is the buzz around the league. This is what people, smart people think is going to happen. That's the sense of people that I know and trust and respect, that Harbaugh will not go to the Niners, that he will go to Michigan, and it'll be up to another NFL job to see if it could entice him and prevent him from going to a place like Michigan.

"But the one thing I feel certain about, Jim Harbaugh is going to leave Stanford."

It was open last February when it was finished but I think it's closed off now. It's fucking incredible and the bathrooms are so futuristic I almost shit in the sink by accident.


It's right down the street from the new arena (like 500 feet) and across the street from some old shitty dormitories.
