I have been unable to find any reference to the use of “lus” to stand for “laugh up sleeve” which I would have expected to be used in texting, though not in public comments on blogs. The latter would hardly be covered up or stifled.Just wondered.
The sad thing about sports management is that the faculty teaching many of its courses are the most expensive in the whole university. A few years ago, there was a graph flashed for about 10 seconds during a presentation that showed how expensive it was compared to other majors, right up there with the most equipment-intensive ones.
This is not the first time ACE has intervened for some comic relief. In 1952 a special presidential ACE committee recommended a whole package of reforms including the end of bowl games and postseason play, bringing coaches’ salaries into alignment with faculty salaries, the end of special admissions for athletes, shorter playing seasons, and university control over all athletic operations. When other presidents ignored them and went about their business, ACE said nothing. Good to see that they’re finally getting serious.

I personally was stunned to find that “Sports Management” and “Sports Studies” were disproportionately pursued by scholarship athletes.

Regarding the use of “lol.”
