What's this?

You need to reread the article.....

I do not believe you really are understanding what was said due to your need to fit it to your argument. You took his statement on non rev sports completely out of context just like you implied in your previous post that the article stated he allowed football to falter to prop up other sports. I will be happy for you to show me in that article where you believe he says either. He does indicate that all athletes are important but, he has acknowledged the rev sports fund the operation. More importantly he has stated his issues are with the business model as a whole and the potential divisiveness and legal pitfalls that could be created were certain things done just for revs. I would say again you need to reread to see if what you think is being said is actually what is said. You probably would be wise to reread the entire thread because I think you have gotten yourself so tied up in being right that you have lost sight of the actual s discussion.

Agree. Hard to find anything to disagree with Sands about in that article. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 03/29/2021 2:42PM

Sands is an innovator. Ahead of his time. -- Pride_and_Joy 03/29/2021 12:35PM
