Sports uber alles – part two

More on Comcast Center and athletic financial woes from a former executive board member of the University of Maryland Terrapin Club in this morning’s Sun. We like the part about charging Comcast $55M for the center’s naming deal, but then promising the fees back in the form of mandatory student fees. The company gets naming rights simply for serving as a short term money lender, and students not only get the bill – they get their cars towed so all the important people (those concerned with athletics, not academics) can play their games.
