Great move! I understand

Great move! I understand there were a couple of well connected potentials, but Pankey won out.

Wrong conversation

The conversation we need to be having is not about the football coach, but rather why we have a football program at all. Even one bump on the head is way too many.

A quote from it:
"When a country places more importance on sports than on academic achievement, its decline is inevitable... This is why intelligence and knowledge is disparaged in the country that reached the Moon. These days, intellectuals are mocked as “faggy” and unmanly as if brute strength somehow contributed to the technical prowess, economic agility and innovation that made America a superpower... This is why our politics are a disaster. When you raise a generation to believe that throwing a ball is more important than fulfilling their civic duty to make informed decisions, you allow charlatans to sell their lies to the public unchallenged."
