Davidson paying for students' way to Sweet Sixteen...

[Maroon Eagle]

From the AP:

DAVIDSON, N.C. - One of Davidson College's famous perks is the free laundry service for students. Now the school is adding another freebie: watching the Wildcats play in the NCAA tournament's round of 16.

<span class="bodytext">The school's board of trustees set up a fund Wednesday to pay for any student wishing to travel to Detroit to see Davidson play Wisconsin in the Midwest Regional semifinals. Students will get free bus transportation, two nights lodging and a ticket to Friday's game.</span></p>

<span class="bodytext"><span class="bodytext">Behind sophomore sensation Stephen Curry, Davidson upset Gonzaga and Georgetown last week for the school's first NCAA tournament wins in 39 years.</span></span></p>

While the drop-off laundry service and trip to Detroit are free, annual tuition at the exclusive, liberal-arts school is just under $41,000 a year.</p>

probably the best idea ive ever heard of. A small school/ cinderella school making decisions like this.

than a public University though.

Still a great idea.

when you have 1,600 students and not 18,000.
