Can this be true..?? https://www.sportsmanagementdegreehub.com/the-universities-that-spend-the-most-on-athletics/   Really stepping up supporting our athletes!

Did not know that black was a school color and did not know that Eagles was replaced with Mean Green in 1966...both seem wrong to me.  We were Eagles long past 1966 and black has never officially been a school color.

Top 15 Schools Paying the Largest Portion of the Athletics Tab Themselves

Significant qualifier. 

Horribly written (misleading) article.

I bet this is a result of the old guard putting the tab for Apogee in the athletics budget. No other schools do this and it was a mistake. That decision has directly lead to articles like these and the “debt” one in the school paper.

Not sure when it was added, but the university recognizes black as a school color.

Black is a school color

our mascot is the Eagle, our moniker is Mean Green  I don’t consider college sports nomenclature to be complicated, but here is another writer not getting it

the wording in this article ain’t technically wrong, but i consider it wrong in what it implies/says. Misleading

I wonder what it says that there are so many G5 schools in the top 25 as far a spending goes...

Thoughts?
