Why can't you UNLV baseball players just tryout for minor league ball? Most of you don't want to pursue college educations, anyhow. I don't care how much money Arizona State spends on baseball. I don't pay taxes in Arizona. When I have to pay higher business and sales taxes to support NSHE, which then turns around and pumps it into fluff like baseball, I'm sorry, but baseball has become politicized. That's right. I get enough of that every time Goodman talks about building a stadium to attract a MLB team.
Now if you boys want to convert me from one of your biggest critics to one your biggest supporters, you underclassmen should declare majors in Mining, Agriculture, or Engineering. Those were the practical fields our State University was originally chartered to teach. In fact, the University was endowed with sufficient capital to ensure that those departments would be funded in perpetuity, without further taxpayer obligation. That means you boys should all qualify for academic FREE RIDES. That's right. Then Nevada taxpayers could point to our baseball players as an example of our fine youth.
