Nice idea to have a principle sponsor as a partner... Students, graduates, players as students it all could work nicely... College Football rugby style... Both parties could be winners here... Its worth a good shot and could end up being a OZ Rugby establishment...
Sydney Uni do rugby but its all shute shield level... take that and make it Super Rugby and it could go off like a bottle of bubbles at a hens night...
Nice shot, but no firepower in that statement... poor aim james... just hasn't happened... However I do except to see a few young promising Republicans in Brumbyland over the coming years... and NZers I might add... jeez this could really open up things for the recruiting department, they may have to employ additional staff.... Education lasts, rugby is but a decade if a player is lucky...
Look I also think the Brumbies is gay but you can imagine if this whole thing of luring South African players to come and study and play rugby in Canberra works.
Jake White is not just a coach he is a mastermind strategist
Remembering we are talking about South Africans and education here tfg

Very valid point though. The uni most be making a decent profit.
Q:The union's ACT secretary Stephen Darwin said, ''Professor Parker has to assure the staff and students of the University that public funding intended for teaching and research is not being redirected to a sporting sponsorship that is unprecedented in Australia.''
A:Professor Parker said, ''I can assure our students and staff that no resources will be diverted from teaching, research, campus infrastructure or any other academic activity or support service as a result of this partnership. There are only positives to this partnership for the University of Canberra community.''
Didn't really answer the question there Prof, it was about public funding really...

No, you are right of course - after all, they openly admitted that third party arrangements with club sponsors were made in advance of signing Giteau for his glorious return and the ARU didn't even blink. No reason to think the protocols will apply any more now than then....
One mans fuel pill is another mans "opportunity", sounds like both were/are selling fairy dust.
