“Florida Atlantic President Mary Jane Saunders is not concerned about lack of attendance when FAU’s new football stadium opens Oct. 15. ‘Everybody is going to come to these games,’ Saunders said last week during the ceremonial first lighting event at the $70 million stadium on the north end of campus. ‘You go to one game and you are going to want to be part of the whole thing.'”

That was August 2011. Saunders, after an error-studded term of just three years, is gone and the new stadium (FAU’s a public university; don’t Florida taxpayers care about anything?) is a morgue.

So Saunders was just off by a few letters: Instead of everybody coming to the games, it’s nobody.

    What’s wrong with FL taxpayers???? I sure as hell don’t know, but if anyone finds out, would they please tell me? Because I’m willing to believe it’s the same affliction infecting nearly every tax payer in most nearly every state.

    You know, this is going to be the reason we’re going to see unis, both private and public, shutting down. The debt loads these jackasses have placed on these institutions are going to lead to defaults. At some point, Americans are going to have to grow up and realize that there is no such thing as eternal growth, not of tuition, or available debt, or televised football games. When most of them come to their senses, it’ll be too late. An affordable, quality university education will be long gone…
