for other serious problems. A less political, more educational minded

or Business as Usual?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This article that is in the Idaho Statesman raises more questions
than it answers. </DIV>
<DIV>First, why are we keeping a football coach that failed to meet the
minimum NCAA Academic Progress Rate?</DIV>
<DIV>The national AVERAGE is 940, passing is 925. <SPAN
style="LINE-HEIGHT: 19px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 13px"
class=Apple-style-span>Every UW athletic program had a score of 948 or higher,
and </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span size=3
face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><SPAN
style="LINE-HEIGHT: 19px; FONT-SIZE: 13px" class=Apple-style-span>even
all of Eastern Washington's athletic programs
passed!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>And think about this, there will be 79 "scholarships" JUST FOR THE
FOOTBALL TEAM, not the 85 they could have had!</DIV>
<DIV>How many (total) "sports/athletic" scholarships are there if the
football team alone gets 79/85??????????</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>For anyone on the Vision 2020 list with information about U of I,
how many scholarships, equal to the sports scholarships, is the U of I
awarding</DIV>
<DIV>for Math? Physics? Biology? etc etc.......... Any thing you can add
Nick? </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The University is in a real hurt for funding, and it is my understanding
that the Athletics Department has not participated in the across the
board </DIV>
<DIV>reductions, and we get these kinds of results? IF the University
Administration is content with this kind of performance, why hasn't the Board
of Regents</DIV>
<DIV>stepped in?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Time to clean up and clean OUT. </DIV>
