Might as well just put this in smack, cuz that's where it'd go. The old better academics debate.

“Honestly, I never look at these reports to line up what we’re doing better than anyone else.” Rather, Gamble said, he looks at the data for direction on where MSU can improve.

I wish more people took this approach. It's getting a little, actually it's getting very old hearing people complain that we need to do this and that, just so we can keep up with U, (regarding athletics facilities).

I see MSU closing the athletic $$ gap and widening the research $$ gap as we move forward!

According to that report for fiscal 2007:

* MSU spent $102.1 million on research, vs. UM’s $62.1 million.

* MSU issued active licenses for its intellectual discoveries to a total of 130 companies, including 81 in Montana. UM had 24 licenses to companies, 15 of them in Montana.

* MSU had $257,621 in gross revenue from intellectual property licenses, while UM had zero.

Too bad there's no comparison of knee bruises and tonsil infections. Guess we'll just have to come to our own conclusions.

Tampa Griz.....what you guys do at UM should stay there. Dont bring us into your extra curricular activities please

Believe it or not you just touched on President Dennison's sore spot. The man wants research dollars, and if you look at UM's plans for the future you will see that the "Stadium Expansion," is just smoke and mirrors. There is a reason why the Skaggs building is expanding continually each year, and if you have seen the plans for the Campus #2, covering our current golf course, you will see exactly what the future holds for the UM. Everybody talks about the bleachers they are putting on our football field, but the plans for the golf course are huge. They are basically trying to build a new campus, and why?

Graduate school dollars. Dennison wants to see the dropout rate go down, and to get more graduate students (for the very reason we have the research gap). In fact, Dennison is on record as saying it wouldn't be a bad thing to see undergrad enrollment stabolize, or go down. Our retainment is a joke, and this is because if you have a pulse, the U will admit you. No, you won't get a degree, but they will gladly let you spend $10,000 before you figure out college is more than keg stands and Griz games.

I have seen the plans for the new campus only once, but it is basically a miniature version of the oval. I appologize for not having a link, but I do know these plans exist and they are stunning.

In rebuttle, don't focus on the illusion of an expanding Washington Grizzly Stadium as the direction of this campus. Big changes are comming to the University of Montana, and only time will tell if those changes are wise.

If you google search - University of Montana "South Campus" and click on the first option you can see the powerpoint. You will note that it has its own oval, and big building simply named "Research." I am guessing within ten years (the plan actually says 50) this becomes a reality, and dramatically changes the graduate student enrollment and amount of research dollars received by this school.

This is what George Dennison does. I currently go to Construction University of America.

Actually I think we are closing the gap on research dollars.

We gained in research dollars when the administration sold our sole to former Senator Connnnnrad Bbburns and put his name on a building. That resulted in federal dollars flowing our way.
Now that Burns sits home and not on the appropriations committee it will be interesting to see if Tester picks up the torch and keeps the federal funds flowing our way.
I always thought it was a sell out to let Burns have his way with MSU. Hopefully we can stand on our own and not have to rely on politics.

sold our sole

Yep, nobody wins in the long run when you sell your fish!!

I had the same reaction when I found out the U got money from NASA to begin with. I have no clue whether or not they will see money from them again, but I do believe this plan will go through because when Dennison wants something, he usually gets it. I'm curious if this passed or not.

Missoula residents put up with noise, traffic and minor lawless behavior because of the student population, as well as student votes skewing the system, she said.

“For most residents, the benefit doesn’t reach beyond the football and basketball programs,” Pickens said.

Wow.
