Oh, I think it's important that academe is not in a protective bubble and apart from gravity. Athletics are an important component to a balanced university environment. And how can we say, as a university, we pursue excellence, but athletic mediocrity is "okay"?

Honestly, intellectual snobs who hated P.E. will drive to kill sports programs at any university, if given the voice to do so. Intellectual bullying is no better than physical such. And what do you have without athletics? Cal Tech? Bubbles need to be burst every now and then.

"Penny, Penny, Penny."
