Answer

I disagree with the idea that sports and libraries use the same amount of money. Of course, both are important for every university. B, but they are completely different categories. Different categories do not have to use the same amount of money. I am going to mention three reasons below.

The first reason is that the importance of sports and libraries depends on each university. Some universities encourage sports, but the others do not. Universities which do no encourage sports do not have to use money to them. It is unique to universities. Students can choose a university before they enter it by such kind of information. To increase a variety kinds of universityies, each university can decide the budget freely.

The second reason is that there are more fields to use money. Why only sports and libraries are chosen? I guess that is because libraries are a symbol of academic field. However, universities can add money (to) other academic fields besides libraries. For example, they can use money to scientific laboratories. They need money very much. Universities do not have to adjust money to sports.

The third reason is that the amounts of money to use both sports and libraries change every year. In a year, they use more money to sports. By contrast, they do to libraries in another year. Using the same amount of money to both fields means when universities use more money to sports, they also add money to libraries. Practically speaking, the total amount of money is limited. When one increases, some should decrease. It is more reasonable to think that when sports use more money, libraries and other facilities have to use less money.

In sum, I do disagree both sports and libraries use the same amount of money. For universities, they can use the money according to their uniqueness. Universities can use money to many fields differently. Furthermore, the amounts of money to distribute each field change very year. Therefore, I strongly believe that using money differently encourages universities to be better.
