Why is the sociology department not tasked with generating revenue? How much money does it cost to operate the criminal justice program? How much revenue do they bring in? Whether it be the ice, court, or track, athletics is a classroom. Higher education costs money. Do you think it's a coincidence that more corporate leaders in America are former NCAA athletes than any other single group of college students? UAA athletes have by far a higher GPA than the UAA average. These recruited athletes are by in large the brightest students at UAA--_FACT.  Want to save money? How about we rid our system of all these dumb satellite campuses. How much does it cost the taxpayers to keep campuses in places like Nome and Bethel--heck of a lot more than a hockey team. Make those joke community colleges online schools. Want to go to college in state? Move to Fairbanks, Anchorage, or Juneau.... And Richard, hockey players steal your girlfriend or something? You love posting negative comments about UAA.
