[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 400442, member: 265"] I don't think it is quite [I]that[/I] low. The problem is that, while college presidents do have to pay some attention to sports, that simply isn't the main thing they need to do. The technical core of a university is its teaching and research. That [I]has[/I] to be the main focus of college administration. Sports are important, but not that important. That's why I'm so encouraged with the response to the recruiting initiative. A lot of what's needed has to come from the fans. As long as president's make the right noises and show up to glad hand the alums, that's all that's really necessary. My favorite quote from a college president was from Clark Kerr when he was president of UC. After a Broad of Regents meeting, one of the members asked him, "Clark, what is college [I]for[/I]?" Without batting an eye, Kerr replied, "Sex for the students, sports for the alumni, and parking for the faculty." That's pretty much how they [I]have[/I] look at it. [/QUOTE]
