Yup, and I think this is actually a terrible PR thing, since very few people have positive emotional ties to a hospital system. Everybody hates American health care!
Arguably Hospital systems are the most visibility arm of Public universities other than athletics, at least in Michigan. Michigan Health is the largest and best network in the state, and its funding is likely at risk.

That locks George Mason into the No. 2 seed with two games remaining.

Instant classic brewing at Clune Arena where 1-15 Fresno State and 0-15 Air Force are going to overtime. It's the worst combined record for a conference game this late in the season since 0-16 Buffalo played 1-15 Northern Illinois in 1999.
