  25. Well *I* do.  You point to one of the expenses of state government
  26. relating to CU football but fail to mention that CU football also
  27. brings *in* some money to the state government, thus making it look
  28. like we spend all this money on football, when in fact the CU Athletic
  29. Department (now that we have a winning football team with TV revenues
  30. and sellout crowds) is practically self-supporting.  The only ones with
  31. a legitimate gripe about how much CU football costs are the CU students
  32. that are forced to subsidize it to the tune of $66/semester.
