This report is more of a pro-sports entertainment industry lobbying effort than a report on how UA intercollegiate athletics can be self-sufficent from State funds and student fees. The report even suggests that UA buy the Carlson Center-a stadium in Fairbanks that looses money. How does that balance the books?

Given UA intercollegiate athletics are not part of the UA mission and given this committee sees no path forward for UA intercollegiate athletics to not burden our State's budget-option one-eliminating all UA intercollegaite athletics is the only option offered by the committee that meets their assigned task: Zero State funds by 2025.
As is - it is embarrashing that we are cutting academic programs before unattented sporting events. shame on us
