They say it is free and their quote is below:<br /><br />"This project will be self-funding. The upfront dollars for the process will come in part from the student government funding and in part from a University fund. These funds will be repaid from royalties the University will receive through the sale of new mascot merchandise."<br />http://www.du.edu/explore/mascot.html<br /><br />On that basis, my daughter's allowance is free because I pay for it with current funds and future revenue! No wonder the budget at DU is out of control.<br /><br />What a joke.<br />5BWesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902714158850663998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-14131755579454623142013-04-11T09:31:44.626-06:002013-04-11T09:31:44.626-06:00Tim,

It is running 95% Boone despite moderator attempts to redirect the conversation. <br /><br />Just like the original Pioneers, the respondents are holding strong, true to the Pioneer spirit! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> 5BWesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902714158850663998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-73396691827920134192013-04-11T07:03:36.442-06:002013-04-11T07:03:36.442-06:00Probably more important than the Boone controversy...Probably more important than the Boone controversy is the "study' to tie our founder, John Evans, to the Sand Creek Massacre in a 'guilt by association' study. I would encourage everyone to go to the Clarion and add your comments. I have never seen our beloved university more misguided and off track. Notes to the Board on this wasted effort are warranted, too. How is this moving our university in a positive direction?<br /><br />When does degrading our past end and honoring our past begin? It is time to clean house at DU.5BWesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902714158850663998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-21507411162761771242013-04-10T18:58:30.567-06:002013-04-10T18:58:30.567-06:00Well done by Danny.

Again, well done on calling DU out on their BS.
