UAS (University of Alaska Juneau)
and
APU (Alaska Pacific University) are great Universities with high student moral with no intercollegiate sport teams-They got rid of intercollegiate sport teams ~20 years ago because they could see the economics on the black board-this was before Alaska Universities started to eliminate Degrees in Economics.

"The HuffPost/Chronicle analysis found that subsidization rates tend to be highest at colleges where ticket sales and other revenue is the lowest — meaning that students who have the least interest in their college’s sports teams are often required to pay the most to support them."

Maybe we are missing something. Intercollegiate sports, with huge expenditures per student athlete, appears to be more important to our legislators and Board of Regents than funding education-I just wish they would tell us why?
