I am curious how the university gauges the return on athletic investments as an attractor of academic donations and/or increase in enrollment to the university due to athletic sucess or percieved unversity sucess due to facilities like a wonderful new and expensive arena?

The buisness of sports can be justified if it makes money for a university and supports the academics, are we ok with this being reprisentative of the Ducks and shaping their reputation, and by extension the reputation of oregonians?
