&gt;Athletics: Drop athletes that aren&#x27;t student athletes. I&#x27;m sorry, but illiterate players don&#x27;t belong in college. It&#x27;s a disservice to them, the rest of the students, and the university&#x27;s reputation. Stop spending astronomical amounts on football (primarily) and other sports, even if it pays for itself it&#x27;s not needed for an academic environment. Rein these in, keep athletics but cut the programs so they aren&#x27;t (budget-wise) on the level of some professional teams.<p>This isn&#x27;t going to happen in the current environment. There is literally billions of dollars of profit at stake.
