$270 mil for obese football players

by: $270 mil

Why did Northwestern spend $270 mil on a practice stadium that only obese football players and other athletes can use? Can't that money have been used better? This is an outrage to academics and a huge waste of money put towards people whose only skill is throwing a ball, and who tend to do communication and other low-earning majors.

well for starters--b/c the people who donated a huge chunk of the $$ wanted that...in addition, the football team generates A LOT of $$ as well. Finally, none of the football players are Kappas--so not sure where you got your obese facts.

Kappas are very poor. I'm not sure where you got the impression that they had any money. Most of their parents are middle class at best and live on the edge of poverty.

Ok I looked at the statistics and it turns out NU players bring in $375k in revenue per year per player. $75k of that goes to tuition + room and board, and maybe $50k more of that goes into miscellaneous things. So they do bring in maybe $250k a year in profit per player for NU a year. But that still doesn't justify building a $270 mil building. Maybe spend $50 mil instead, and use the rest to either pay the players or improve Northwestern's academics. The players are here to serve Northwestern and get an education. They don't need a fancy 1,000,000 sq ft stadium.

it’s absolutely wild that it’s several months after the fact and people still can’t understand that the money went there because the DONORS wanted it to go there...or like do you just complain for the sake of complaining¿

I feel it is horrible that Northwestern is rewarding obesity by allowing football players to get full-rides. Northwestern should instead focus on their health, so they don't all die of heart disease by age 50.
