For those who posted on any side, here is my question: Is there also a fund for TBI (TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY) that doesn't show up for years, but is a very real side effect of all of this? mskathkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10915005113110820252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-35903319530430244592014-02-13T19:59:02.962-05:002014-02-13T19:59:02.962-05:00Now - I'm not Catholic, but now that you put t...Now - I'm not Catholic, but now that you put this all this way, YOU GO GIRL! I agree that this is a sinful waste of money when we have homeless on the streets, people who really want to work can find work and on an on and on...in our own Country no less. So thx for the rant.

My school, the University of Alabama, spends a lot of money on its football program as well. The return on the football investment is huge, it pays for all of the sports that do not make money but that Universities are required to offer, a la Title 9. It probably also pays for the entire English department. I know it sounds awful, but there is another side to the story.Anne Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06007852691694571209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-58891379499138919142014-02-13T18:33:31.832-05:002014-02-13T18:33:31.832-05:00Too, cool, Connie.

I did get to see your beloved university back in Sept and I toured the beautiful chapel and it's little museum with Papal artifacts. Some gorgeous needlework on those vestments to be sure. This funding is just a tiny example of priorities these days...unfortunately. I do agree that the new Pope Francis seems like breath of fresh air even though I'm not a Catholic.

Again, the Church wishes to bring back their lapsed members. The new Pope apparently sneaks out at night, dressed as a priest to minister to the poor. Good gracious, what would Jesus do? I tried going to Mass after too many years to count. The Pope quit, so did I. Guess he heard about me. Thanks for the wonderful rant Coni.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180325918936524130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-10951489065272036822014-02-13T14:11:25.447-05:002014-02-13T14:11:25.447-05:00Amen!Amen!SharoninStitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03451163710122617372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-52951126111746256122014-02-13T13:43:31.278-05:002014-02-13T13:43:31.278-05:00Well said!Well said!capecodgirl565https://www.blogger.com/profile/16084745119981460292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-52661074863049486532014-02-13T13:42:40.350-05:002014-02-13T13:42:40.350-05:00I had no idea colleges were still doing corporate ...I had no idea colleges were still doing corporate deals and building huge stadiums, particularly CATHOLIC institutes of higher education.
