Not that many here needed more proof, but saw this today:



Quote:

Enrollment has grown from 4,061 to 7,572 (86.4 percent growth)
Undergraduate applications have quadrupled from 1,841 to 7,342
Freshman enrollment has spiked from 569 to 1,280 (124.9 percent)
The faculty roster has grown from 279 to 434 (55.5 percent)
The overall university budget has nearly quadrupled from $72.7 million to $283 million

As for the area a certain segment of society cares the most about: money.

The endowment has bubbled from $67 million to $212.9 million (217.8 percent)
Annual fundraising has grown from $13.4 million to $31.1 million (127.7 percent)
Total donors have grown from 7,006 to 13,261 (a modest 89.3 percent growth)


Simply amazing. Yeah...that student vote was a terrible idea.

Are you saying that the vote by the students wasn't even necessary? I don't remember the details of how it came about.

Not sure what you're meaning. Not saying it was/wasn't necessary, it definitely would have gone a long way to help the athletic department. Obviously again the more money you have for facilities and programs, the easier it is to recruit and win. The more you win at a higher level...like Gonzaga...the more it helps the university on a larger scale.
