Doug gets an incentive payment for mascot wins


Unbelievable, but disgusting if true. Edited by Bulliever

Yes, let's not celebrate something good happening to the university because we're currently bad at other things.

 

I really don't get that logic.  Winning this contest is straight up a good thing.  Why not celebrate it?

No, that's not the logic at all - the bottom line is the ridiculous level to which this was celebrated - a stupid mascot contest.  Is that what you want the University to be recognized for in the field of athletics?  Check out Ned A Starr's post - it really does say it all.  It's not about keeping up with the Jones's either.  It's about standards of excellence that a major university (which we claim to be) should adhere to.  That means instead of being all heads over heels about winning a mascot contest, we should be more focused on the fact that our football program is in a process of deep slide right now.  That football program and its success, as confounding as it might seem to some, is actually how USF gets on and stays on the national stage.  That success on the field turns into funding and recognition for many other aspects of our university.  Do you not remember the buzz that surrounded the university when we were ranked in the top 10?  Before that, ask people what USF was and they had no idea.  Any major national recognition that the university now has is directly tied to the success of our athletics program.  Wake up - it's all about the money and winning a mascot contest (despite how cute that is) is not going t cut it in today's collegiate arena.  

 

Thank you for breaking it all down for us. We all now feel so much more enlightened then we did before this post...

You finally manage to hold the shift key at the start of a sentence, and it comes with the caps lock on.
