Here's a transcript, for instance, where President Wagstaff talks to two faculty members about his priorities around football and academics:

And I say to you, gentlemen, that this college is a failure. The trouble is, we're neglecting football for education.

Exactly. The professor is right.

Oh, I'm right. am I? Well, I'm not right. I'm wrong. I just said that to test you. Now I know where I'm at. I'm dealing with a couple of snakes. What I meant to say was that there's too much football and not enough education.

That's what I think.

Oh, you do, do you? Well, you're wrong again. If there was a snake here, I'd apologize. Where would this college be without football? Have we got a stadium?

Yes.

Have we got a college?

Yes.

Well, we can't support both. Tomorrow we start tearing down the college.

But professor, where will the students sleep?

Where they always sleep, in the classroom.

Oh, professor. The dean of science wants to know how soon you can see him. He says he's tired of cooling his heels out here.

Tell him I'm cooling a couple of heels in here.
