Tech has a significant endowment. Academics isn't hurting for cash.
Then why do they keep jacking up tuition and graduate athletic fees? The money is better spent keeping tuition down than funding sports nobody goes to see. imo they should be club teams like ice hockey and lacrosse. I get having them, I just don't get treating them like big time college athletics with scholarships and use of AA resources like trainers, tutors, and meals. In other words, they should be hobbies, not black holes.
A few years ago the sports editor up here wrote about how the Minnesota golf coach was headed to Australia and the tennis coach to Germany for recruiting. That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Not only is that pure cost, but some Minnesota kid won't get the chance to be the next Tim Herron, Tom Lehman, David Wheaton, or Mardy Fish.
