Flagship state school undergrad is a damn puppy mill. I can remember when we had room for everyone in a Hayne in Kane class. Now they're watching in the hallways on monitors. I have bro' whose kid is at Cal and it's worse there. Freshman and Sophomores especially are being educated en mass and the quality is shit.
But who wants to watch Middlebury v. Tufts in football?
I didn't take Rocks; wasn't a jock. I took micro and macro from Paul Heyne, who had the largest head and face I've ever seen on a human being. I had to share the experience with 700 of my close frens, so Heyne and I didn't get to know each other, but he was a good prof and good at teaching the economis. I lerned.
You're poor because you are too far removed from your immigrant roots. Hopefully your kids won't be pour and on the welfare like Race when he was in Oklahoma ... during the Dust Bowl. That would be sad. Sad, really.
Notre Dame - $11.8 Billion
USC - $5.1 Billion
tOSU - $4.3 Billion
Bammer - $683 Billion
Bammer doesnt' play school.
When you consider Harvard, Yale and Stanford, sure those are big #s. But they're running small cities with huge and capital hungry grad and professional schools. The UW is one of the largest employers in Seattle. There is an army of employees there.
Compare and contrast Williams or Pomona or Amherst. $2.7+ billion, but w/o nearly the liability side of the balance sheet and the money is spent on less than 2,000 kids. The amount available as spend per student is embarrassing. And there's the next group of Wellesley, Bowdoin, Vassar, Wesleyan, Midd, Grinnell and some others in the $1 billion+ club.
The only state schools with huge financial resources are Michigan, A&M and Texas, and while their endowments are big, again, they have very big operations. It puts UW's 3.3 billion into perspective.
No question thought that the elite, faggy lib arts colleges still punch well above their class in monies. In comparison, a shitty one like SPU only has about $100 million in the bank.
Yes, Miami is in need of an influx of money. They have fewer undergraduates and run a slightly smaller operation than UW, but not that much smaller. Much of Washington's endowment growth has been in the relatively recent past. It's not a school that has always had a lot of money. In my day, the place would have closed down without the fed feeding it research money ... thanks almost entirely to two influential senators. Olympia hasn't been scratching UW's operating budget for decades.
Go there sometime. Their Greek row would make you think that all the money in the universe is right there in Tuscaloosa.
AnM gets a share, which has been plowed into their endowment. But the PUF belongs to the UT System, and its campuses (mostly Austin) get the income from the endowment. There's a separate fund for the UT med schools. Also, there's three other funds managed by UT.
Hell, they own a billion dollars of gold.

But undergraduates don't get much benefit.
