University of Alaska Sports in danger of elimination

Re: University of Alaska Sports in danger of elimination

Still haven't heard anything about the Great Alaska Shootout. I think that will be one of the firsts to be cut. But then again, who knows.
 
Re: University of Alaska Sports in danger of elimination

Does UAA even make money off the shootout anymore?

Probably not since it went to a mostly mid-major tournament. That or they lowered or kept constant the stipend to keep a profit, which drove away the major programs. Hard to compete when a resort in the Bahamas is offering $2 million per team.

Looks like 10M more put back in the budget for a total of 335M. Hopefully, this will keep our sports in tact. However, university system still pushing for merging all three campuses.

Channel 2 news interviewed the UA President tonight and talked extensively with him about the budget. He said nothing about merging the campuses.

Suze one part of strategic pathways is merging the campuses. It is a FACT!!! Just because he didn't bring it up doesn't mean anything. The system is already talking to the accreditation agency about it and they are planning for it. I don't like it either but it is FACT. As a matter of FACT the BOR is talking about it now in executive session.

He's still pushing for it. Budget isn't going to get any better for UA anytime soon.

It really puts things in perspective when a $15m cut sounds good.
