Oy vey!  They want to drag this bullshit back to the light?
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

I don't think the governor is going to like the result and price tag that's going to come with this move.

He's bought into the self-righteous, "But that's UNFAIR of the NCAA! We were cooperating fully with them and they pulled the rug out from under our feet ANYWAY!"

We've got a mother lode of whiny bitches around here these days.....

No shit.  The football program and school administration failed at risk children in every conceivable way and still they try to absolve it of any wrong doing...
