SMU raised more money to build Ford that the entire endowment of Boise St. 61 Million

Combined with exponentially increasing tuition, student loans being the next bubble to burst, the value of college degree is about to go through the roof bc no one will be able to afford it and won't be able to get loans for it either.

Is it incredibly wrong of me to find pleasure in this?

TCU is also no more then 1.2 B on their endowment - and i think they are actually just over a billion

glad they think we are 12k students - nowhere near there.

Student loans and pensions funds will be the next two bubbles. Is there any way to hedge against those to make some money??

EVERYTHING will get much tighter. unsustainable university cost structures are going to get waylaid. TV and other revenue will shrink. Its going to be bumpy. Schools like SMU with big endowments and donors who are willing to pony up are going to rise to the top

The SMU website says 11K. I think that is counting grad students, law students, Taos, etc.
