Briggs: Here's the biggest misperception about Toledo's athletic department

The University of Toledo almost won something called the Excellence in Management Cup, an honor created by a professor at Texas A&M to recognize the college athletic department that best maximizes its fiscal resources.

I hadn’t heard of this award, but it raises a couple good questions.

First, can we enjoy the irony that someone from Texas A&M — the school that just bought out football coach Jimbo Fisher for $78 million — is raising a glass to efficiency. That would be like a guy who works at a slaughterhouse inventing the Tofu Cup to salute the best vegan dish.
