That would be awesome... Trump would probably have a heart attack.
I'd feel sorry for the poor guy who would have to clean the shit out of the pool, though.
Not at all.
I would be all for giving out scholarships to women for ACADEMIC merit. Why we still keep this weird artifact from 19th-century elitism puzzles me.
When I was in college, I didn't get an "athletic scholarship." Instead, I joined the National Guard and paid for college that way, as well as working two minimum-wage jobs. So, Ms. Riley still gets her scholarship; she just didn't get her plastic trophy. I can't exactly break out the crying towels.
Now, at that time, UIC had an "Athletics Program". No Football program, as that was Urbana's cash cow. A basketball team that was a joke. They called their team the "Flames", which is hilarious given how close UIC to Boy's Town (Chicago's notorious gay neighborhood.) I think it was supposed to be a reference to the Great Chicago Fire, which is appropriate because the program was a ******* disaster.
In addition to taking out a lot of money to pay for a stadium no one went to, the entire program was paid for through student fees. In fact, 33% of fees went to the athletics program.
40 years later, no one cares about UIC athletics, but the students are still paying for it.
