Underfund to make gov’t institutions not function as well as they could, then say the institution doesn’t help, and use that as an excuse to cut funding more. Even if the institution is more cost-effective and provides better care than civilian options. Or if the service wouldn’t occur otherwise.

The biggest reminder of the importance of NCAA ball is that Reale played four seasons at UCLA and Schupansky played four seasons at Pitt.
Both stepped into important roles almost instantly, and combined for 3687 minutes of NWSL play.
