[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If every university was required to have a web site that listed major donors with any related students attending or applications pending, the disenfectant of transparency might be distasteful enough to make people think twice.  Maybe not, but maybe.  Also if any tax deductions can be claimed with these major gifts, require that any taxpayer with a dependent who attends or has an application pending at that school not be allowed to take the deduction that year.

And take sports completely out.  Pay athletes to play for a club affiliated with the school.  [/quote]

Paying athletes only corrupts the system more.  Athletes get free tuition, and tons of gear.  They are not supposed to get tons of free gear, but they do.  I don't think they pay for clothes or high end sneakers during the entire time there. [/quote]

Well I can’t stand college sports so get rid of it altogether then. I was throwing a bone to the face painters and tail gaters who like to get worked up over sports. It has never been fair that the admission standard is set lower for athletes just as it has never been fair that grandpa can buy a library and grease the skids.  [/quote]
