How's that working out for me ?  The people of Alaska voted to support SB21 . This money wasn't stolen---this was / is a plan we hope will reduce the decline of oil production in Alaska. Due to the sudden plummet in oil prices , we don't know if it would have worked as advertised.  Due to low oil prices the state must cut it's budget.  Every Alaskan helped by forfeiting half their PFD . The U of A needs to do it's part by cutting it's budget.  Dropping sports will save millions per year . Since most students don't support the sports programs anyways , it's the most painless cut.   IF we had the money to keep supporting all these losing teams , that would be fine. But we don't .  As my dear old mom used to say---you may not be able to change what's coming in---but you can change what's going out. Money wasted on U of A sports is money down a rat hole . Most of all---IF the students cared , it would be worth the fight to save U of A sports---but they don't . The low attendance proves it.
