Mood:
I was doing my more-often-than-not nightly tradition of sitting in bed reading newspapers last night when I read this article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Don't get me wrong, I see nothing wrong with college football. I was a big UGA supporter up until recently, when I suddenly lost interest in about 95% of sports (Anna Kournikova being the 5% I retained interest in).
Really though... an $81 million dollar building program... for a COLLEGE? And not just to build a stadium or something... check out these figures.
* $750,000 to renovate a trophy room
* $18,000 for PINBALL MACHINES!
* $5,000 for a locker room door
* $22,000 to replace furnishings in the football coach's office because he didn't like the current red, black, and white colors
Um, hello? Do they need any of this? UGA's sports could go on season ticket sales and merchandising alone (probably merchandising from Brunswick and St. Simons alone!). Let's not put any of that $81 million or so towards actual education or anything...
