“[M]ore sports would lead to additional enrollment. Additional enrollment brings in more athletic fees. More athletic fees would help fund football, which would bring in more students and more athletic fees and more donations .”

Yet another determined cocksman takes over a university and kills it.

It all started with [Columbus State University] president Tim Mescon’s obsession with the school keeping pace with Kennesaw State, where he worked before coming to Columbus. Specifically, Mescon wanted to bring football and Division I status to Columbus State, just like Kennesaw State has done.

The Great Columbus/Kennesaw Contestation! Watch as one man’s obsession carries him and his school to Victory!

Adding sports did not boost enrollment.

In fact, campus enrollment has declined. Why? Online enrollment has become so popular that many “traditional” students are opting for it.

Online students do not have to pay athletics fees. So while the athletics department expenses have shot up due to adding sports, the revenue to fund them has decreased.

So just cut back on sports, right? That would be the logical answer. But the administration doesn’t want that.

GAAAAAAAH!!!   CHARGE!!!!
