Hi Mary! How ya doing? ECU football bringing any excitement to Greenville these days?
Just wanted to ask you and all your editorial buddies a question!
[B][U]In just 6 days, Charlotte 49er football has generated $2,000,000+ in official pledges toward football. Yep $2m[/U][U] ----in addition a multi millon dollar private pledge.[/U][/B]
Is this money robbing the academic side? Was this 2m (in 6 days) really diverted from academia into sports?
Looks like what we all told you, and Jim Utterâs blog told you, was accurate. [COLOR=Red]There is money on the sidelines for this entity[/COLOR] [COLOR=Red]that was NEVER going to academics[/COLOR].
I am waiting on Maryâs columns about NC stateâs athletic fee proposal to go up $55 per student, and how Butch Davisâ $2 million a year arenât worth it and would be better spent on academics.
and how Butch Davis' $2 million a year aren't worth it and would be better spent on academics.
2 mil? Thatâs ridiculousâŚhe was a terrible NFL coachâŚhe didnât deserve that kind of salary:huh:
-But seriously whereâs the âuproarâ over that information.

I should probably just keep waiting. . . . .[/QUOTE]
The Observer only covers the local teams. They probably wonât write an article about a school 2+ hours awayâŚ

[QUOTE=Mike_Persinger;345100]Maybe itâs just me, but Iâd wait before I started rubbing peopleâs nose in stuff.[/QUOTE]I somewhat agree with this. But you also sound like you donât think weâll get it.
[QUOTE=Mike_Persinger;345100]Maybe itâs just me, but Iâd wait to get to $5 million before I started rubbing peopleâs nose in stuff.[/QUOTE]
Shouldaâ told that to Mary before she started mouthing off I guess. We, on the other hand, have reason to go ahead and point out hypocrisies because weâve raised more money in 6 days than Chapel Hill paid their ****ty coach to keep losing games. Although I have to admit, it was worth them smashing a horrible Rutgers team just so ESPN could show the (what was it, 0-20) graphic from Chapel Hill playing away from NC. Weâve got until June to basically duplicate what weâve done in less than a week. Whatâs more important, here, however, to me, is that Iâve learned these past few months through the Observer that hypocrisy is a form of professionalism. That, and continued hatred is the #1 benefactor of us getting football and growing and getting better than other schools. So, keep it up, hypocrites and haters, youâre funding this operation. A big Hokie Hokie Hi and NINER NATION should just about sum things up.
