rowing is for the rich apparently

Yes, and no. It's certainly not for the pour, but plenty of middle class kids on the rosters at UW, Cal, Wisco, Navy, etc on the men's side. On the women's side, if you have a daughter of 5'10" or more who can suffer through a little pain, it is by far the easiest path to a D I scholarship.greenblood said:rowing is for the rich apparently

Don’t worry if she’s a little on the skinny side either. They’ll have her at fighting weight by 2nd semester.greenblood said:

As we used to sing in college, fat bottomed gurls, you make the rowing world go round.salemcoog said:

UT's endowment is only slightly larger than UW at $3.6 Billion and they have 5,000 mor students. A&M is the outlier in the south with a $9.8 Billion endowment, but they are a sicko fucking cult so there's prolly some unwritten rule about tithing. Even the private schools in the Souf are dirt pour. Duke is $7.9 Billion and Vandy is $5.1. Miami is pathetic at $1.1 billion.creepycoug said:Even more chintresting to the endo #s you shared are the ones we've discussed on PM ... I don't think the average person is aware just exactly how wealthy the Ivy League schools are, and are even less clued-in on the abject wealth at the small ivies.
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.
UT has way more dough than AnM. Just looking at the university endowment neglects the Permanent University Fund, which is based on a bunch of oil wells in West Texas and stands around $32BN and counting.YellowSnow said:

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.

chinned for finding a legitimate use for "plowed", one of my favorite words.AZDuck said:YellowSnow said:
