<p>According to pg 98 of that study, unless Rice significantly cut salaries and athletic scholarships and significantly increased alum. donations (we are talking millions of dollars needing to be cut and/or raised) the athletic departments are still running in a deficit. Even the cut of advertising $$ they may get from being in the Baseball world series or a lower ranked football bowl game simply cant make up this deficit.</p>
<p>Conversation with every friend:</p>
<p>Me: I LOOOOVE Rice! I want to get in!!
Friend: But it’s in Texas! EW, do you REALLY want to be in Texas? </p>
<p>It makes me so sad… =[</p>
<p>Just tell them that its mid 60s today, as I’m sure Minnesota is something drastically worse.</p>
<p>Hahaha, today was actually “nice.” But “nice,” I mean 30 degrees…yipee…</p>
<p>trust me ignorance is huge in the north east. I live in New York and barely anyone here has heard of Rice.</p>
<p>I actually find this to be a positive and am really happy that no one knows about Rice, it is like my little kept secret</p>
