With the town hall meeting yesterday, which i did not attend, hosted by the president of FSU in his reasoning behind the cuts to FSU educational programs, I really wanted to ask him could any of those programs have been saved if Bowden had retired as was planned and we did not need to pay $4 million to the guy that was to replace him?
I have heard that he, the FSU president was going for shock value, which was true, but he also need something of shock value he could cut and not lose his job over cutting. If he had called out athletics, football for example, toget a cut to its budget, he would probably get drawn and quartered if he were lucky, hate to think of what unlucky would bring.
Isn't it sad when we are having people with no job, needing to go to school to get a degree or training in a new field or brush up on skills learned in the past but no longer as fresh in their memory as needed, to cut funding to education across the board while at the same time keeping athletics at the same ammount, which is great but I don't see how kicking a football is more important than training a science teacher.

It is true that kicking a football is not more important that science. The thing that we have to realize is that if it wasnt for a sucessful football program(thanks to bobby bowden) there would not be the FSU that we love. That football program has brought millions of dollars into the University. We could cut athletic programs and things but then we would have to say good bye to science and such b/c the money wouldnt be there after all.
