Yes. But it’s certainly what a Wake administrator would say. Maybe Rafi got a promotion.
Who’s to say I wasn’t always an administrator? Special Administrator to Ronald Wellman.

The athletics part of this discussion is a red herring.
It's clearly not the point the article is making and Duke has athletes too, although it has twice as many students.
Wait.
So I’ve been donating for many years equal amounts to the college fund, the deacon club, and medical school.
Rafi, are you saying my college fund contributions have been largely going to support athletics?
Or, to summarize, be twice as good and expect half as much (lifted from Ta-Nehisi Coates)
Oh for sure, wanted to throw the attribution in there because this got me thinking on his musings on college, in particularThat’s a very common saying among Black people so it’s funny to see it attributed to one person.
not sure the math but doesn't football have like 85 scholarships and basketball fifteen and soccer/tennis/track like four they split across the team?
I think his point was most athletes aren't getting full scholarships.Yeah, but they all still count as athletes.
This, but unironically.Right. It sends a message that it's not enough to be as good at academics as rich kids. You need to be good at sports to keep the rich kids entertained and make the rich university more money.
the biggest thing, i'm sure, was the cost relative to median income/wealth resulting in less need in the first placeWake was certainly much more economically diverse back when I attended... Need blind admissions was a thing and costs were lower by orders of magnitude - middle class and lower middle class kids were a dime a dozen...
