Why?

What's wrong with WiFi it makes perfect sense for small scale deployment such as a college campus while WiMAX will make sense for city wide projects.

It's like everyone is doing crap backwards and on top of that everyone has at least a 802.11b/g card these days on there laptop or there desktop.
Yeah, but some college campuses can be as big as a small city/town. At least the vast ones with a lot of living green things, heh.... And I'm not talking about the sick college drunks.

 It will be cheaper to use 802.11n equipment which has better throughput than WiMAX at 120Mbps and the upgrade is still cheap.

I know of one vendor who quoted me for a WiMAX card of at least 80 dollars and the AP at around 200 dollars. I believe it was Zyxel.

That's an excellent point, but Ball State isn't a large campus. I've seen much smaller, but if client connections and signals inside buildings weren't an issue, a single wi-fi point could cover this entire campus too.
