oredigger, you are the one who first indicated sports, you mentioned that all sports have been improving since his tenure here, that was my point, then someone elses comment with the "small time thinking holding us back". Same thing we have heard time and time again about our sports.
And not saying the president has no responsibilities in the sports but the truth is, the sports are just one thing on his agenda. So many sports fans across the country and on this board don't realize that college isn't just for sports...
I actually think the majority of this board has attended or is attending the University and knows a little bit more about the University than just the sports program. (which is quite a bit different than an Ohio State or Texas message board)
you're not getting my point man, i'm not saying that we on this board don't realize that there is a school behind the football team, my point is that a lot of people on here couldn't care less about what is going on in day to day activites within the academic and business side of the school, only that facilities are upgraded, new better recruits are coming in, and that all that matters is that we win.
it's a sports sports sports mentallity, and unless you are an actual student at the time, you don't give a crap about academics, just sports sports sports.
