Philanthropy. It is hard to raise money for the medical school when donors are also potential donors to athletics. Some donors would prefer to see a plaque with their name in the bas- ketball team’s weight room than give money for medical student scholarships or an endowed chair. When the ath- letic department can hand out tickets on the 50 yard line for a bowl game, even the most charismatic medical school xxxx is at a disadvantage.

Some members of the board of trustees have more interest in the team than the hiring of a new chairman of a clinical department. It’s also tough to get the attention of the university’s leadership when a coach or athlete has committed an indiscretion and as a result, the campus lawn is covered by TV trucks reporting the story.1,4 An institution can only direct its resources and energy toward a limited number of priorities. Every endeavor has opportunity costs. In recent years, some universities have focused on transforming from a “commuter school” to a residential undergraduate program by striving for recog- nition, in part, through intercollegiate athletics. Playing football on weeknights to gain TV exposure,...
