The CIC put together/fostered joint application for research grants by BIG schools. I.e. Mizzou’s College of Agriculture would jointly apply with the Ag Schools at Illinois & Purdue for research funds; the Mizzou Busineess School. Might jointly apply with the Indiana’s Business School for research funds.
The research grants could be far larger than the AD’s total revenue in those days.
Mizzou is first and foremost an academic and research institution, not a sports factory. Attitudes lolike. Yours are why Mizzou has dropped from a borderline top 50 nationaluniversity to not even being in the top 100, not even being the best of the old Big Eight schools.
