Lax accounting, planning factor into athletics deficit

Years of unchecked spending by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics carved a major hole in Ohio University's checkbook - a hole OU now plans to fill by spending less to educate students, maintain aging dorms and fund research.

Post Letter: Local media neglect 'lesser-known sports'

I am writing today to voice my frustration with all Athens newspapers and their coverage of local sports. Frequently, we are bombarded with uninteresting and unnecessary feature stories about football, baseball and basketball. These teams, who until recently have found little success, are glorified and put on a pedestal for the community to admire. They are recognized significantly among all news, even so much as to have feature stories running the days leading up to an event, during and immediately afterward. And when it is not the aforementioned three sports, only other varsity and NCAA sports are mentioned. We hear about swimming, golf, track and field and volleyball in the background, echoing Ohio University's main athletics.
