Everything would go up... and the entire Institute would be lifted. Just consider this article [URL]https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/sports/ncaa-applicants/[/URL] There is a direct correlation when a school wins a national championship, to their admission applications. Its a 3 hour commercial for the school!! For those of you that won't read that article, it shows that when a school wins or appears in a championship game the number of admissions go up, which would in turn allow even higher student profiles, which would in turn be used to secure even more funding. Everything is elevated. It really is a narrow view to see academics as a sole vertical outside of athletics, and reminds me of the stereo-type "Jock" that is made fun in movies because they can't value the "nerd". Only in our case, we have the exact opposite where we aren't valuing what the "Jock" brings and the result is that we are damn near the bottom in athletic funding. It us sad to those of us who can see the benefits. [/QUOTE]
