I sense quite of bit of hostility in your comment. My point had nothing whatsoever to do with academics. The discussion forum topic, in the interest of staying on topic here, was about the head coach, Mark Helfrich, and the big-business reality that has been created not just with the University of Oregon football program but with a lot of big public and private universities across the country. Many times in the past I've posted on other discussion forums on the Register Guard site when the topic was about UO academics and how to reduce costs to students and reform the administration. You would be well served to follow the basic guidelines for posting on these R-G forums in terms of topic and tone.
