| Washington AD Calls Oregon an "Embarrassment"
Washington AD calls Oregon "embarrassment" - CBSSports.com Quote:
Washington AD Scott Woodward called Oregon an “embarrassment” as an academic institution over the weekend.
Here are his quotes from the Washington pregame show.
“ … it’s not really where we want to be … because it’s an embarrassment what their academic institution is, and what’s happened to them as far as their state funding has gone. In my mind it’s a wonderful athletic facility but they’ve watched it at the expense of the university go really down.
“The athletic facility is impressive. The fans at Oregon should get down on their hands and knees at night to Phil Knight and pray to him because this is an incredible facility he’s built.“
Later …
“ … You watch how far they’ve [Oregon] dropped because of their state funding. And it’s a message for us too. Our state needs to get its act together because we can’t continue to progress without investment in our institution. But we’re doing extremely well and we’re very proud of that fact.”

| Found a solid post from a Purdue graduate/fan. Quote: |
Pretty ridiculous that he recognizes that academics have fallen because of a shortage in state funding but doesn't see that strong athletic performance is going to help bring more money into the university to make up for that lack. Guess what, Woodward - the Washington @ Oregon game had the largest attendance in Oregon history, and putting money - Phil Knight's money - back into athletics is going to create a larger draw and a larger flow of cash. Smart people turn money into more money, and that's exactly what Oregon has done. The academics will follow.
| For what it's worth, the education system in Oregon is one of the least founded in the nation. Don't quite understand how you can place blame on the university itself, and it isn't as if it's a failure as an institution, it simply pales to USC, UCLA, Cal, Washington, etc. But to be fair, most schools do. | |

| Let's not forget their uniforms and new basketball court. Those by themselves are enough to be called an embarrassment. | |

Secondly, encase you missed it, this is the "Around the NCAA" sub section. Where, as Vol Admins described it, "In our Around the NCAA Forum you can discuss all NCAA sports including NCAA football, NCAA basketball, etc."
Complaining about this thread seems kind of silly now doesn't it? | |
