And you are correct - the information is out there, I'm just consolidating it, putting it in one place, and sharing my opinion of it. This stuff wasn't exactly on the first page of a google search. I just felt that the thread participants should get both sides of the story before forming an opinion. I have a very hard stance on schools that I feel are trying to game their students/communities.
Lots of schools get a hammering from me - this thread happens to be about LU. If it were about Grand Canyon University or Waldorf, then they'd be the ones getting the hammer. There are even some fully legitimate schools like Purdue that I take issue with too.
My comments about D3 were unrelated to my opinion of LU. D3 pays for their athletics through tuition dollars - and I believe often makes more in tuition than what it costs to run the program. So long as the education is a priority for these schools (which it usually is), I support this method of funding athletics (generally speaking).
My guess is that's what LU is trying to do - subsidize the school through the addition of football, and the tuition dollars it brings in. I don't take issue with that aspect of it at all, actually - I just hope they use the opportunity to refocus their educational offerings into something a bit more... less shady.
Just to explain to you where I stand, anyway. We are in full agreement, something needs to be done about college football on the west coast. I think we just disagree on how it should be done.
