Dick2 said: (quoted from post at 21:57:07 05/17/15) It was in the news last week that ASU is paying the head football coach $3.5 million per year salary. Do we really need those expensive athletic programs? Why?
Most of those programs pay their own way. Nearest example to me is Ohio State. Major sport coaches (football and b'ball) make the big dollars but their sports pay for other sports and all the required Title IX sports programs at the university, 900 athletes in 36 programs (men and women) total. The football program alone brought in $69.3 million in 2014 (as of January 2015). The estimated value of the program if it was sold like a professional team would be $1.1 BILLION! Do we need it? Probably not, but it's a reality we have to live with right now.
I believe there is more than the education, it's largely the individual and how they act, present themselves, ability to talk in proper English rather than "street" and write in something other than gibberish and have some personality. I work with a guy that is smart and educated, business degree from OSU and an MBA from a local respected private school, but he's annoying and difficult and has made some bad choices (including a wife that's a shrew, to be kind) and he's never done better than a job that high school educated clerks at our company do. On the other hand, I fellow I worked with some years ago didn't even have a college degree and retired at a fairly high position running a regional office, he's the kind of guy that everyone liked and respected personally and professionally.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
