KSU football and CPJ

This is a funny comment. The entire state university system is about forcing people to pay for things they don't want. The system is supported by state and federal taxpayers, many of whom don't attend college or have kids attending a state school. The tuition and fees are not specific to major, and yet some subjects of study are much more expensive to fund than others. Do you think that students at GT are actually paying for the cost of attendance? The costs are mostly paid by lottery participants, federal research grants, and state taxpayers. The tuition and fees paid by students is a small part of the actual cost, which is why private universities charge 3-4 times as much. Students who don't want to pay athletic fees are free to choose any school they get accepted to. Attending a state university is the best bargain you are going to find in your entire life.

Any rational method of charging for college would be paying for the costs incurred. You go beyond even that and recommend paying for completely extraneous costs that some jackass administrators and ignorant alumni have decided to saddle students with. The lottery is VOLUNTARY so I don't have a problem with that, but the idiot administrators who are more worried about getting their name on a building than teaching kids should burn in hell. Remember Clyde from the 80's building a parking deck on the students backs and then parking fees jumping from $100 per year to $250 or more? That really helped the students.

If Georgia Tech wasn't in the ACC and had facilities paid for, I would be against them starting football. It's stupid, but don't let facts get in the way of over exuberance.

This is a load of BS. Our state universities aren't a bargain for most. They are a money pit for students. For the most part, our university system couldn't care any less about giving a worthwhile education. They are money grubbing whores that use their whore mouths to lure in naive young folks into useless majors and get them on the student loan train.

And it would be a better bargain if Kennesaw didn't form a football team to combat its little penis syndrome

Well, since KSU is in the Sunbelt Conference and has facilities paid for, does that help you feel better about it?
And, FWIW, that's the same conference as Georgia Southern, so that should make for an interesting rivalry down the road.

Edited to add:
Upon further reflection, GT owes several million dollars to pay the debt on our facilities. You could argue we're in worse shape to field a football team than KSU, based solely on that criteria.

KSU is FCS. I think the KSU fans want to wind up in the Southern Conference in the next 5 seasons.

They paid cash for facilities? That Sunbelt conference 3.7 million payout does not support an athletic department. Apparently, you don't consider floating a bond debt.

They're just wanting their proper respect on here and I see nothing wrong with that. Can't we at least say something nice about KSU? I'll start. Two of Kennessaw State's more notable alumni are Ryan Seacrest and Briana Blair. That's remarkable.

Newt Gingrich taught there. I have no objection to KSU and give them credit for building a credible school. I disagree with the need for many of their majors that prey upon 18 year olds making stupid life decisions and that's why I don't support "athlete" majors. See UNC for why. Football is very expensive and is a money loser at the vast majority of schools. You'd think someone who had a scholarship would be all for it, but critical thinking requires me to admit that it isn't an intelligent endeavor for most universities who's primary mission is to create productive members of society.
 
I have no problem with KSU. I have a problem with small dicked folks there thinking they needed a football team. It adds nothing to the school and is only done to feed the egos of a few.

I don't even have a problem with them starting a football program. The problem is when GSU and KSU have started programs and immediately want to jump to the top level.

Why not play in the smaller programs? Put less of a financial burden on your students for awhile and build a brand.

FCS isn't the top level. They might be someone for the Jackets to play in the future. KSU would be better than Alabama A&M or Alcorn State
