Today's Reno Gazette-Journal noted the need of the Nevada basketball team to "recharge batteries" after playing five games in 10 days. A TV station called the team "weary."
Oh, please.
Nevada's performing twerps are treated better than any of the dogs in the recent Westminister show. They feed from the university trough, live on scholarships, get helped through classes.
Awhile back, some national educational group criticized the fact that most UNR students take at least five years to graduate. Since most UNR students take full-time classes and hold down full-time jobs, yeah it takes five years or more.
But the worn-out basketball team? They don't have a clue what real student life is.
The university is facing budget cuts in state funding — it's the economy, don't ya know. If I were in charge, the athletic department would be unemployed, the teams' gyms would be open to every student and the teams' restaurant would cater to the homeless. Budget crunch fixed.
