OregonGriz has a great point. It's unquestionable the value Griz football brings to the school and community in terms of recognition, exposure and hard dollars. Failing to recognize that and properly invest in the future of Griz athletics is missing an opportunity. It's kind of like saving your oil change money for the car wash. Unfortunately too many of our legislators never went to college and couldn't give a damn about funding the U system so funding will have to come from other sources. The administration should be visibly advocating for the funds to pay a competitive coaching staff salary and provide quality infrastructure.
