since most of us do not have any idea what went on in the study, what the options were, why it was decided to do this instead of that, other options might have been much worse, just do not know, hard to say how your case study should be taught. it seems that it could have, should have, been handled a bit differently and i am upset but until i know more of what this entire episode was about and how they got to where they did, am not going to flush the toilet yet. there does appear to be money involved, but think, according to one poster, about three scholies being endowed, that does not seem to be that much although nothing to sneeze at but not a "buy out" by any means. not sure we will ever know the complete story but seems a number of people, faculty, admin, board, all had a hand in this and there was a reason for them to come to this conclusion. i guess in my dream world, would love for a wealthy alum to come to the school and say, i don't want to build another building, or tear down another tree on my campus but i do want to endow all of the scholarships for our athletic teams. that has not happened yet and may not, probably not ever going to happen but that is the only way that we can continue to support 17 sports at our size.
