UMGS struggles

I think any outfit that would spend this ridiculous amount on marketing -- for such dire results -- should sell its real estate off to the nearest condo developer and get out of the education business forever. It clearly doesn't belong there.

Exactly, sometimes I really feel that education is a "business" and they're trying to "gouge" your money by trying to make you overpay or swindle you into thinking that's a good deal in education.  This is true for most for profit institutions, I remember U of Phoenix spending about that much or more on Superbowl ads alone at the pinnacle of their growth.  Alas, even public/state based schools are looking at ways to get their name out the same way, by overspending!  They could have spent some of that to help students instead...
