Universities have small entertainment budgets. They can sponsor C-list acts,
up-and-coming acts, etc. But not the BIG touring acts.
That's not to say a BIG act won't play *near* a university....or at some venue
on a university campus. I saw Nirvana live at the University of Akron's James
A. Rhodes Arena (they were pretty big then - about 6 months before Cobain
offed himself), but that wasn't sponsored by the university.
I mean, The Who aren't gonna play in some university's cafeteria! (Although
I've had dreams similar to that!)
