I agree with everything you said. We've had a rough year watching our coach Jim Tressel fall in scandal and it is hard. But we've got to have our priorities in order. We cannot hold our programs and institutions and "heroes" so high that we take leave of our humanity to keep them perched on their pedestals. I told my boys when Tressel got fired that you can't stand on lies, you can only stand on the truth, even if it hurts in the process. State will get through this, you guys are a tough lot! xoShannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14852362833362246151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327051242734642774.post-99107080723684112011-11-12T12:46:16.656-05:002011-11-12T12:46:16.656-05:00Thank you for such a heartfelt post. I agree with ...Thank you for such a heartfelt post. I agree with you completely. As an educator, I've said for 30+ years that we have the cart before the horse. Since you also attended school in Texas, you know the emphasis that our state puts on sports as well. This scandal proves how skewed our perspective has become on athletics. High schools and universities across the country should stop, take stock and make some sweeping changes.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327051242734642774.post-5396950035434429062011-11-12T02:17:12.567-05:002011-11-12T02:17:12.567-05:00Very well written.
