UO Matters bait. Baseball team lost 1.7 million in fiscal year 2015, not counting the $780,000 debt repayment for the year.
Drop baseball, and we’d have more than enough to cover the hole Coltrane dug for CAS Humanities.
Oh come on UOM – Coltrane has held it together, as has been his previous praise. How could have have dug this hole? Did he have a shovel or was he just looking the other way when the dogs dug
deep into the ground …
$13M for two solid academic causes in one month. Not bad. Any news on how much of the $20M for Lillis and Bean’s sports spires of excellence programs has been raised?
I heard ~$1M.
