Yep. I always chuckle when people are surprised by this stuff.
Florida State was about to become an all girl school in the 1970s before Bobby Bowden saved their football program.
Clemson’s applications skyrocketed in 1977 when they beat Georgia early in the year and run consistently higher any years in which the team is having success.
Donations increase. Alumni come to games, get together, see their friends, show their kids around campus, tell stories.
No matter what your major, the activities that we can all enjoy together bring us together.

- bumby 5y agoThe timeline is interesting, because it’s my understanding that the 1980s is when college tuition began rapidly increasing [1]. Granted, there’s many other factors like govt backed loans, but inflated coach salaries seems to coincide [2]. The 1980s seemed to mark the beginning of an era when college was run more as a business than a purely educationally minded institution. I’m not sure society is better off for it.
