Well, I wouldn’t exactly be sleeping under a bridge but it would mean that a lot of my charitable contributions and social obligations to others would be eliminated entirely. Quality of life would be reduced to zero. People who count on me would be severely impacted.

 I would imagine that how this would translate for Tech would mean a bare bones program that has no monetary leeway for doing those things that keep an athletic program building for the future and not sliding further behind other schools. Student satisfaction might even drop in some instances. And, as in my individual case, Tech probably will have to dip into other accounts, further weakening the overall institution and its programs.
