Re: Show me the money--Players turning pro
Lynah already posted title IX which says if a school accepts students that receive federal financial aid.
Frankly, I am not arguing about title IX in any way, I am only responding to OsroJr that Universities receive public money. They don't. Lynah doesn't seem to get.
Yes a private university is in possesion of public monies with regards to grants, but it isn't their money. Its the same thing as saying a bank receives money from private investors because you deposit your paycheck there. The money doesn't go to the college, its not their money. If you give money to a lawyer to start a trust, it isn't the lawyers money.
As for the issue of researchers using school facilities, they do, and they also pay for it. They provide a service for which they are paid by the investigator who got money from the gov't for a grant the investigator got. The university did not get money directly from the federal gov't.
I mean by that logic UVM is heavily subsidized by the gov't because they get money from investments on General Dynamics which has contracts with the military funded through DOD a part of the Gov't. I mean the assertion is just silly.
