Would someone like to send in an intelligent well-written rebuttal?

[James329]

I am so tired of hearing/reading crap like this...

http://www.ntdaily.com/?p=67587

And I really fault the nt daily for even publishing it. It's nothing more than a blatant jab at athletics. There's plenty of things I paid for that I didn't use that are non-athletics. How many people are actually going to use the Union that is more expensive than the stadium? Im tired of the athletic bashing culture that exists around this university. It's time to quit making it so easy and comfortable for people to do this.

To make matters worse, pegasusnews ran this "article" as well.

Wait until the guy gets a job and has to pay taxes.

[meangreendork]

What a tool.

Look, if we didn't pay for the stuff this guy used that we didn't, I'm pretty sure his costs would go up, and with his mentality, he'd probably crap a brick about that cost, too. Heck, I would venture a guess that if we ran a university according to that system, we would just have a college, and not a great one at that.

That's essentially what I said in my comment in the article.

University of Phoenix is looking for new students.

[Texas Stranger]

There's a place in the world for people like Bennett. It's called "UTA".

[golfingomez]

I wonder if he's using in-state tuition? Maybe we should send him a bill to cover the actual costs for his education?

[Harry]

Boy this really pi$$ed me off!!

[trud1966]

What University in the US actually has fees listed ala-carte? Does he really think a system like that would work?

Exactly like Taxes. They're in place to supplement departments. This guy is a PhD student too!

I'll never understand, if someone doesn't care about athletics or it's associated fees, then fine. There's plenty of community colleges and trade schools out there.

Doesn't want to pay fees but probably drops a ton on D&D crap.

Idiot...

This was picked up by Pegasus a couple of days ago, no one cares enough to comment. I'm sorry but any where he goes to get his masters he'll have to pay fees. If he doesn't want all the "extra crap" there are several online diploma mills that would love to have his money.

This is just a bad argument. He says things he can't use (history center) and the same as things he doesn't choose to use (stadium) are the same thing.

[oldguystudent]

That guy better never stay in a hotel in a major city because virtually all of them have a stadium tax attached to the room rates.

I accidentally hit a thumbs down instead of thumbs up. Sorry about that.

I gave him a +1 to even it out for you.

[VideoEagle]

For a history major, his writing displays a sad lack of historical knowledge. Wasn't there a vote of the student body in addition to the vote of the SGA? I might be wrong about that. I can't count the number of things I get charged fees over which I don't care.

We might ask him to pay the actual cost his class rooms.

[Green P1]

This is the kind of douchebag that goes to a Golden Corral, buys the buffet, then bitches about having to pay for all the crap he didn't eat. Sorry bro, no mashed taters for you if I don't get my peach cobbler.

your culprit.....and not one thing is surprising that it is him since he looks like a boy in a 40 year skin suit. I wonder if his Mom lets him paint the basement whatever color he wants? For those that say he should go to UTA....he already did.

[greenminer]

We got any techies around here that can get into the department computers and arrange for some alternate grades?

You know, take care of the glitch...

This guy makes me embarrassed to say I have a degree from the history department.

Wonder if I ever had a class with this joker.

Don't their students have to pay for University of Phoenix Stadium?

I doubt he'd use that, not to mention he may not have enough bandwith to run World of Warcraft AND take online classes from his mom's basement.

Chances are, you did, he looks like a "career student".

I minored in history and I swear he looks familiar.

[Rudy]

WTF is that?! A Beanie Baby or a Teletubbie?!

Haha YES!!! Thank you for this.

Anyone with an open club seat should invite him.

Someone with patience and a capacity to teach.
