Kent State Football is a JOKE.... and a BAD one for that matter.

If the program is losing millions of dollars a year.. then why keep it?

"You're not going to have 18,000 (people) come and watch chemistry class," Kennedy said. "But you will get 18,000 that will come and watch an intercollegiate athletic event."

maybe if the university invested even a quarter of the money they do in althetics into the chemistry department... they would.

When the university has to make cuts in the future, and we know they will, let's see what is cut from althetics... the answer: ZERO

In the real world, prospects that reptitively lose money, are ones not worth investing in.

Not that I'm saying to cut althetics (like that'd ever happen), but please, can't they atleast try not to have such a large deficit?

The Kennedy dude said what???

$1 million given to KSU: Morgan Foundation donates to fashion school

"The Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation has formally presented Kent State University with a $1 million grant in support of the Shannon Rodgers and Jerry Silverman School of Fashion Design and Merchandising.

The grant, payable in equal installments over the next 10 years, will fund a portion of the school's directorship. The funds will provide support for the current director and will be a tool for recruiting future school leaders. It is among the largest gifts ever awarded to the fashion school.

"Mrs. Morgan and her late husband, Burt, became leading advocates for the Fashion School at its inception," KSU President Lester Lefton said in a statement released Wednesday. "This latest gift from the Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation illustrates a deep understanding of the priorities that will help the school to continue to soar in excellence. Support of the directorship allows us to maintain the outstanding leadership begun during Elizabeth Rhodes' tenure."

The foundation's grant is the latest in a series that have provided significant support for the school."

Hm...does anyone know whether or not any of the "directors" of the KSU football program is supported by alumni donations?

Say...does anyone know whether or not the Athletic Department is going to be held to the same "budgetary constraints" as the History Department, Art Department, et al in the University's new budget architecture?
