There are many universities with huge donors that don't have the same problems as Oregon. In my opinion, the University needs to realize the sportsmanship displayed by their student section is unacceptable. Then just start ejecting troublemakers.

I think one of the great facets about college basketball is the passion of the fans. There is a HUGE difference between supporting one's alma mater and making personal attacks against an individual's race, sexuality, gender, or family.

I skimmed the article before getting my hair cut last week. It is pretty sad that these things go on in college athletics. It sounds as though more people need to be shown the door. I will say I almost don't enjoy going to watch my college teams play (I went to a Big 12 school) becaust the fans are so moronic in what they scream at officials. I think all the way from the pros to elementary athletics we need to hold spectators to a higher standard.
