Study shows that athletic success, media hype negatively impact academic donations - Oregon Daily Emerald - News: "Over the past decade, outright donations for the University's current operations routed to athletics have increased threefold, while similar gifts to academic divisions have seen barely any growth.
According to data retrieved from the Council for Aid to Education, a New York City-based nonprofit established to conduct higher education policy research, the University's Department of Intercollegiate Athletics received $5.6 million worth of outright donations in 2000, increasing more than 200 percent to $18.1 million in 2010. Donations to academic divisions during the same time period increased less than 12 percent from $4.3 million in 2000 to $4.9 million in 2010."
