I know it is paid for by donations. However those donations could be used for other things if the school asked for it. And just because someone willing to pay for it doesn't mean it the right thing to do. It is a very slippery slope the NCAA and schools are going down. How do you justify the tax right off for donations when they are going to things as rediculous as this?
I have no problem with nice facilities. I think what Rutgers is building is perfect. It is not over the top and it is functional. Laser tag, miniature golf 43' tv in every locker is just rediculous.
Most times when people donation large amounts it is earmark for only specific projects and can't be used for anything else. For example, I don't think that Penn State could have taken that Ice hockey money and said, screw this we are using it for something else.
I agree that this is stupid, but what people do with their own money is their business.
