[QUOTE="SamCdbs, post: 4659431, member: 113147"] Lots to work with here. First, is the “Hayes Rule”, which says “most people who have never been to college think the quality of a college is proportional to its football team”. This rule is applicable to at least 95% of people. Nationally and within states. The obverse of the rule is the saying attributed to a former Ole Miss chancellor “Football is the front porch of a university”. This is also true. Sports make people with no actual connection to a college think of it as “we”. Mostly the one with the same words on its front gate as on his driver’s license. Add those together and its pretty clear big schools use sports to prevent legislatures from questioning why the school is a money pit for $$ best spent elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
