"College Sports Causes More Winners than Losers"

In a News Journal article entitled "College Sports Causes More Winners than Losers" author Ted Kaufman provides detailed analysis about the unfair funding towards the two most profitable collegiate sports: basketball and football. Both Auburn and Oregon gained $2.3 million for their participation in the 2011 BCS Bowl. Rutgers University moved to the Midwestern Big Ten Conference and will increase income as a result. But, rather than using the money to benefit other programs, no programs benefitted; precisely, the opposite happened. Select minor sports programs were cut from the school due to their interfering costs. Ted Kaufman effectively uses logos through providing statistics that defend his argument. An allusion is stated in which a reference is made to a separate article in USA Today. An analogy is used when the author compares this controversy to the Watergate days.
