The state of education:

[shootingstar]

I have a class right now that we didn't get a syllabus in class because the department didn't have enough paper and we had to print it ourselves. Maybe if they cut the football coach's salary we'd be able to afford supplies where they are needed.

Amazing, a shortage of photocopying paper.
Canadian universities don't have much on the collegiate sports team funding side anyway compared to the US. Community colleges in Canada support their teams (if some have any) even less.

My second university that I went, hugely supported its football team at the time. And annual fall homecoming game, parade, etc. was celebrated by the university and city. Very unusual for a Canadian university football team to have that level of high local support. Even so, at that time, there wasn't much money spent on the football team, etc. Judging from all the alumni propaganda that I get, probably hasn't change much. All the major Canadian universities have been aggressively fundraising by beefing up their full-time prospect research funding team members, renaming their university libraries to mirror the big benefactors, etc.
