Donna Kim is a Washington State graduate.

Utah State’s request for $1.5 million from their State legislature to help fund their athletics was approved. This is a small state that has 5 other 4-year schools playing football. This is another reason why UH has fallen behind other MWC schools.

Hodad, Jordan Wynn, who was the QB coach and did the play- calling in 2014, became surplus when Chow hired Don Bailey as the new Offensive Coordinator. I guess it’s like musical chairs. When the music stopped, there was no chair for Jordan Wynn. There was no official announcement by Chow or UH Athletics, but it was made known on this blog that his contract simply was not renewed.

#23, Right on. I used to support Donna as she is in my district but no longer. I agree it’s a short sighted way to look at things regarding the constituents remark. Miss the days of Gov. Burns who was a big UH supporter. Not only athletics but wanting to make the entire school a flagship school that the state could be proud of.

ST, your remarks on Mercado-Kim’s comment are right on. I’m also disappointed that our politicians as well as the UH administration are either uninformed about or unwilling to discuss the importance of athletics to building a positive brand image of the university. They all seem to think that UH should be above having to market itself to potential students, when the reality is that major state universities all over the country are engaged in an intense competition to grow their tuition-paying enrollment. There are multiple studies that show having a successful football program can increase the number of applicants to a school, and yet our politicians and administrators just can’t seem to grasp that money spent on athletics is an investment with a high potential payback. Real leaders would be educating the public about this, not passively hiding behind poll results.

I’m not really sure how well she knows her “constituents” given that she lost her last election in November.
I’m sure any financial query can be shot down. Should public money be used to subsidize the UH law school? Seventy-eight percent of people probably would say: why should we have more lawyers? Should taxpayers subsidize the zoo? Heck, no, let the tourists and elementary-school parents pay for it.
You get the picture.
It’s easier to say “no” than to come up with creative ways to make money. Because, come on, what lawmaker has found ways to raise money other than through taxes or click-it-or-ticket violations?
