I imagine by now everyone has seen the banner ads at the top of the screen. I just happened to see one for my old school, UNOH or University of Northwestern Ohio. It's a great technical school and I really enjoyed my time there. I actually met a lot of great guys that are members here as well.
It made me chuckle when I saw the ad on this particular site and the reason is because 8 years ago I tried to get the school's motorsports division/club/whatever involved with the SCCA, because they were only involved with drag racing and circle track. I wanted them to open up the school and students to other forms of racing. They told me to get the information and get it to the Motorsports Dean.
I went as far as meeting the PR director for the SCCA at the Valvoline Runoffs at Mid-Ohio, getting her information, and getting it all to the Dean of the Motorsports program. Everything sounded promising and I thought I actually acomplished something good. Then nothing came about. The Dean told me that the PR Director wouldn't call him back. I thought that I was duped by the PR director, but I wasn't. I called the Director myself and she had explained that the school wasn't interested. At that point I wasted so much time, I gave up.
Then, I tried to start a Sportscar and Sport Compact club associated with the school. I thought "There's a Race club and a 4x4 club, so why not?". Once again, I had to do the work, get 50 signatures to gauge interest, find a teacher that would sponsor the club and write up a plan of action, etc. After two months of spending my spare time getting everything ready, it was also turned down by the school.
I imagine after 8 years, things have changed, but all the effort I made to get the school involved with Road Racing/Autocross and got shot down, I find it amusing that their ad is up there. With a circle track car in the background none the less. 
Like I said in the beginning, great school, great programs, and had a great experience.
