(9,090 posts)through their support of 260 limbaugh radio stations. by broadcasting sports on those rw stations in exchange for a little licensing money, the school lets the station use their cred and logos/mascots to sell corporate republican bullshit.
so while student activists and bernie and others work to reduce student debt and increase education funding these 90 universities support 260 limbaugh stations- which is more than 25% of the national and locally coordinated republican propaganda machine that has been electing republicans and defunding education around the country.
if students want to reduce debt and fight this shit they might want to check to see if their own schools will be helping republicans oppose student debt relief, attack bernie, and elect trump/cruz.
it makes these schools great places to protest in support of bernie and all education related issues because local GOP/ALEC/think tanks rely HEAVILY on those stations and just getting attention to it so the school is just thinking about looking for apolitical alts to broadcast sports will scare off advertisers and scare the crap out of the GOP. many of those stations would have to change programming to survive.
here's the list by state - 260 or so stations that help ALEC destroy public ed and attack teachers in their states. and they will be attacking bernie nonstop if he gets the nom.
texas unis support at least 16 limbaugh stations, which are often the loudest around.
