The Musk-Trump administration announced a drop in indirect cost rates for NIH grants to universities to 15%. Immediately. What does that mean?
Consider Ohio State, home of the National Football Champion Buckeyes.
OSU got $252M in NIH grants last year. The immediate cut is $68M. A lot ! 1/3

Sherrod Brown (D) was a formidable member of the Senate Banking Committee and leery of cryptocurrency. The R's are in favor of crypto being a part of government finance portfolio. Millions of dollars (allowed b/c of Citizens United) supported Bernie Moreno (R).

'Joyful Warrior' was a moral compass heading.
We have to bring them to court to save our country and hope the judges stand with the constitution.

The athletic program ran at a $38M deficit last year.
Suspending intercollegiate athletics would get over half of the NIH cuts and is real leverage against Musk-Trump. How many OSU fans.. 2/3
Football may gather attention and generate lots of revenues for TV networks and sports merchandisers, but the benefits of research universities are in the education of our children and innovation for our communities. 3/3
Block and report.

Indirect costs reflect the real costs to universities for taking on research -lights, plumbing, heat, hazmat waste, accounting, etc. Cutting thst forces the University to come up with funds elsewhere.
