Sex, wins, and parking

Clark Kerr is reported to have said that a college administrator's job is to provide "parking for faculty, sex for students, and athletics for alumni."
An inside joke, I suppose :-)
But, wait, Clark Kerr was no ordinary guy; he was the top gun at the University of California system, and was one of the architects of the three-tier higher education model in California that was fantastic at one time. So, he could not have been joking--it is another example of many a true words spoken in jest.
And we relive the joke all over again.
