Quo with another steaming pile of manure argument.

No, absurdly sensitive ECU fans unwilling to admit that you're in the same category as Old Dominion and Delaware.

As Adcorbett said, school's don't turn down money. When you guys boost your revenues and change your vote, your claims about having all this earning potential and being able to afford stipends will ring true. But as of now, it's just Pirates blarney. :phew:by

Your argument is still phoney baloney, because you are totally ignoring how these schools derive their income. ODU and JMU get more revenue from student fees (2:1 clip) than does ECU. ECU's income is more diverse and stems from a lot more sources including ticket sales, etc. Even a non finance person can see that a program that is primarily living off of their student actually has less money than a program whose majority of income comes from sources other than students. Your comparison is not apples to apples unless student fees were at a 1:1 clip, which would easily show ECU has the higher revenues.
