...when the kids have an apartment or a house they can stay in instead, in the same city.

Basically, I'm saying I see no need to donate to any athletic department (because they all do this).

I've worked in college athletics before. The amount of money completely wasted and spent frivolously is mind-boggling.

"University of Utah, for example, spent $276,000 on home-game hotels last year, but less than a fifth of that — $46,000 — was for lodging.

Some schools incurred expenses that would have cost less if purchased outside the hotel. Take Auburn University's bottled water. The school paid $267.62 for six dozen 20-ounce water bottles earmarked for the bus ride before each of its seven home games. The season total: $1,873.34.

At Walmart, the same size and amount of bottled water cost $11.94 before tax, a season total of less than $84."
