Favorite Post Q4

My favorite post from quarter three is my post entitled "Gross
National Happiness."

I think that this post did a successful job of combining succinct descriptions of unknown terms with links to more elaborate descriptions. I also think that I did a good job of mixing my own theories with those of the hosts of "Stuff You Should Know."

NCAA loses

I am watching the final game as I write this.  Currently Duke and Butler are tied at 16.  Personally, I prefer Butler 'cuz I love an underdog.  By the time this is published, we will no doubt have a winner.

Honestly, I wonder if there really is a winner.  The main argument for these sports and the recruiting that goes behind them is that a winning team will lead to more donations to the school by graduates.  my dad informed me, however, that the school uses most of this money to pay for more sports.

Then, I wonder, what is the point.  Maybe this gives people who wouldn't usually have the chance, the chance to go to college.  It is a great equalizer, like I said yesterday.  Then, I heard on NPR that only about 40% of college basketball players actually graduate.  Basically, I can't see a point to this.  If you do, tell me.
