It's Elementary...

...for the UW Athletics Program anyway.

Anyone else notice the article this week, entitled,

UW-Madison begins work on $76.8 million 'Athletic Village' at Camp Randall

"All construction is expected to be complete by January 2014. The funding will come from gifts to the athletic department and revenue generated from UW athletics" 

--as reported by the Wisconsin State Journal

So...UW is going to build $77 MILLION dollars of improvements and not use one dime of taxpayer money?  But in Sun Prairie, they want to construct $2.4 of improvements and not one dime of fundraising has occurred?
We don't think so!

Oh sure...folks can hide behind the fact that UW has a monster fundraising machine in Bucky Badger.  But isn't Curt the Cardinal a pretty big machine as well?  And what about a coalition of other sports --or other--programs?

Maybe it's time for the school board to just mothball the whole concept.
