[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it strange that Chicago puts no value on the sports which creates community. They have super smart kids who deserve some fun and community. Many Ivy League schools have fun sports culture. Boosters want to go to things to get excited and remember how much they loved going to school.[/quote]

“Why isn’t the University of Chicago a huge jock school”.

It’s famous as maybe the most anti-sports highly selective school of all time.

They literally abolished their Big Ten football program in 1939, they weren’t a bad team, they were actually really good, but the university president said “this is a waste of time that is better spent studying.”

It eventually came back in much diminished form but they were called “Where Fun Goes to Die” for a reason.

Sports was considered incompatible with the core mission for DECADES.

First Heisman Trophy winner was at uChicago and they STILL killed the football program. Chicago is dead serious about being serious  :shock: [/quote]

They need to become dead serious about managing expenses and budgeting.  [/quote]
