Or when the local governments hit up students to cover their own stupidity.

em>Texas’ endowment is $7.2B

Texas also has a number of campuses around the state amongst which its endowment is often shared. Anytime you look at an endowment figure for a school with multiple campuses, you have to make sure you are looking at a specific campus endowment or if it is the system endowment.

State schools often, though not always, have smaller endowments than private schools do because state schools can count upon a certain level of funding from the legislature each year. There was a study a few years ago which basically equated a state school with a $700 million endowment with a private school that has a $1 billion endowment.

Well anyway that’s the theory, until state revenues go to shit and the school has to drastically rase tuition and fees to make up the difference. Right California?

I did. Most college endowments are down this past fiscal year. In the first six months, total endowments were down 23%. I doubt that many of these endowment managers (which would be a fantastic job by the way) staved off the dogs enough to pass Harvard.

I got your back today TBL. Tiger story, covered. ND, like it or not important. Why, money fool, they’ve got an endowment of like 6 Billion, with a B, to my knowledge far and away the most of any big time football school.

here can all endowment figures be found?

Michigan’s endowment is higher than Notre Dame.

Morale of the story: don’t F with Harvard. They will bury you.

Texas’ endowment is $7.2B

Wouldnt surprise me, but endowment figures are always a little fuzzy. And if the Texas coach was fired it would be a gigantic story also. Money talks, suck it Boise.

But, there is more to it than Bob Stoops. And that REALLY seems to be the focus.

In the last 3 days, you’ve posted about 5 times on Stoops to ND. You’ve tweeted about it more.
What’s wrong with going after someone you can’t get? How about pissing off the guys that you MIGHT be able to get? Getting squashed several times by “names” that will never come isn’t exactly a great PR ploy for a school suffering from a football identity crisis.

as long as there’s news, or even a kernal of news on this story, i’ll be posting something. i am fascinated by this coaching search.
