Budget Fact:
Under the Sundquist administration's proposed budget, the state higher education system will spend $17 million building "Greek Row" for Middle Tennessee State University - and $9.25 million doing the same at Eastern Tennessee State University. A "Greek Row," as you know, is a development of fraternity and sorority houses.

And they say the budget can't be cut.
