11/29/2013: Too close to call. The Ducks spend 61% more on athletics and 19% more on our bloated central administration, but the Beavers spend 100% more on research.
IPEDS data from:

Helfrich contract here – maybe this slim win will keep the Duck boosters from blowing $6.4M on buying his contract out early?
Now, now, where are the faculty salary data? The higher UO spending on Instruction with fewer FTE students must go somewhere.
Would be interesting to compare central administration as % of total budget.
And I will leave it to others to compare pension benefits, housing allowance, retirement incentives, sabbatical policies, teaching loads, faculty disgruntlement indices, etc. etc. LOL!
Prediction: If the Ducks lose this one, Phil will have the Pigskin Palace shuttered.
Oh, and let’s see those SAT scores too.
