<p>im really into sports here and things are really on the upswing at ucsd. we are considered a top dii sports school and now compete with many D I schools in many sports, our athletic budget just increased from 2.5 million/year to 6.5 m, we just added $500 scholarship for every varsity athlete, and this january we hired the sdsu fundraising coordinator to bring in more corporate sponsorships. not to mention our women’s basketball team is in the d II elite 8 march madness. an altnerative to driving to ucla is to drive to sdsu and watch games there. its about a 15 min drive and though they are not as good as ucla, they have a good D I sports program.</p>
