Rogers has a few bucks. If he likes football so much, he can partner up with Limbaugh and bid for an NFL franchise. Leave the Nevada taxpayers out of it.
Of course UNLV football comes from school operating funds. Academics is just a pretext. UNLV exists to play football. Drop it and there'd be no reason for the school to exist.

University of Nevada Expands Its Dubious Mission

Nevada Cooperative Extension is just another waste of taxpayer money, brought to you by NSHE. The University of Nevada is constitutionally required to provide practical instruction in Agriculture (and two other fields). How does this translate into a "mission" to provide programs in:

NSHE Bloat

The University of Nevada is supposed to be about training the next generation of applied scientists. Why on earth does it employ freeloaders like Schwer? If Schwer wants to get paid for making economic forecasts, he and his bloated staff can sell a newsletter. NSHE is full of charlatans like this. Chancellor Rogers should eliminate the hundreds of millions of dollars wasted each year before he demagogues about "devastating" funding cuts.

Rogers Defends Worthlesss Departments

How about eliminating all departments popular with "student"-athletes? UNLV is phasing out a degree program called "University Studies" because it's a jock major. Some huge percentage of players on the football and basketball teams were in it. The program's requirements are so soft, a 3rd grader could get through it. Nevertheless, most of its majors never complete it. Outrageous. Now UNLV is replacing that quack program with something called "Interdisciplinary". Same sewage, different toilet.
For that matter, how about eliminating *all* liberal arts programs? Most of those departments have no objective standards. It's noteworthy that a significant percentage of the majors are romantically involved with their professors. Why should blue-collar consumers of trashy romance novels have to pay sales taxes to support elitists who want to dissect Wuthering Heights as a pretext for sexual opportunism?
Rogers doesn't want to talk about eliminating ridiculous "academic" programs because then the truth about these charades would be exposed. Or, he might have to explain why UNLV places such a high value on professors of football ($431K per year) and basketball ($1M per year). Is Rogers the Chancellor of NSHE or ESPN?
