If they put as much money into their R&D departments as most colleges put into their bloated sports programs we may just see hybrid cars that really do run on self contained HHO systems or possibly even zero point energy!

Heck if the big name colleges put 100% of their sports program money in and pooled it together we could possibly even have anti gravity and FTL travel by 2025.
