Why are so many alums so vehemently down on the University Admin for just about anything? I know there is a natural tendency to be critical, and the place does seem like a reverse ATM, always trying to suck cash from students, alum and subs alike, but isn’t that any big time University?
I’ve been there a couple times recently after not having been out for awhile, and the place looks pretty good. I understand why they were trying to get more use out of the stadium and that area and it appears like they are. The University profile seems to be raised by the sporting and other events being brought there regularly. I know it may be different than when you went there in (inset year), but the entire world is. The stadium renovations look good, the turf is fine, and the Tron board doesn’t seem to be the end of the world that many predicted it would be. The hockey facility is also first rate. It looks like a well appointed, traditional campus with the right modern improvements. The endowment is more than healthy and the entering undergrad class profile also seems to be extremely competitive.
What am I missing?
