Most web traffic on academic websites is paid for out of the university's academic budget and/or through research grants. Further, most universities will frown upon or discourage advertisement on their websites -- it takes away from what they are trying to advertise, and that's the university itself. It's not funding that is the problem.



Of course it's not a problem, now that they're selling out to the highest bidder (Weather Predict).

What a load of garbage. I don't see how if this technology is created in part by Federal grants - -MY tax dollars -- and it's a public college, how they can cut off the public from it. It's not like Weather Predict paid to help develop it in the first place. They let the taxpayers help foot the bill and then came in and FSU rolled over like a ...well, let's say like a well-paid escort.

I hope the FSU alumni gets riled up about it and starts withholding funding.
