[quote=sdduuuude]tg, I can’t say I agree that football should be top priorities for either an institution of higher education or a city government. That football takes a back seat in both cases seems right to me.

Maybe in the case of SDSU, they are missing out on a potential revenue opportunity and could build a football program without detracting from education, but the Chargers always seem to be all take and no give.[/quote]

I agree with sdduuuuude here… I lost all interest in the aztecs in the mid-80’s when I was going to SDSU… they wanted to increase student fees to pay for a new stadium simultaniously with significant cuts to the hours Love Library was open. Seemed a little ridiculous to priortize sports over academics.

But then again – I’m not into football and had to schlepp to UCSD to use their library (which was open weekends and evenings!)

I feel the same way about the Chargers… I have no problem letting them go. I don’t want my tax dollars to go to a for profit football franchise.

If you don’t like the traffic – use one of the park-n-ride spots to get to the game. I know the one at 805 and Governor is quite popular.
