<p>dobby,</p>
<p>Many donors are going to have funds earmarked for sports anyway, so the money either goes to sports...or nothing.</p>
<p>You may see it as just trophies, but for a university it's prestige and added value.</p>
<p>In any case, you're all over the map with your arguments. First it was saving some trees. Now it's "saving lives." Why are you so against developing sports programs?</p>
