Costly debates bring attention to their hosts
Associated Press
October 3, 2008
Universities that vied to host the debates had to be willing to pay $1.35 million to cover production expenses, then millions more to erect facilities, spruce up campus grounds and shuffle sports events. The payback: instant international attention. The debates also offer opportunities for students and the community to learn more about politics and election issues. School leaders say the sacrifices and concessions are worth it.
