UVM, like the other state colleges, receives taxpayer money. Why are we not talking about the same measures there? Surely they don’t need to be in the NCAA, right?

VSC receives only 13% of its funding from taxpayer money

I suspect UVM gets even less, but my point is this: If VSC has to cut back, why doesn’t UVM? Thanks.

Can you tell me where you got that statistic? We're trying to amass as much relevant data as we can.

Bernie usually has those stats on the top of his head. I worked at what used to be JSC several years ago, and Bernie spoke at a student rally there. He just rattled off the stats.

UVM leaving the NCAA would hurt donations. They would never do that.

Yes, leaving the NCAA would hurt both UVM and the other state colleges. So why are they doing it only to the state colleges? That’s my point.
