WBTV sends a big Screw You to Spangler/Friday

I feel very sorry for the girl who felt she couldnât be on TV, it is obvious her professor has lied to her about football/academics and she is brainwashed.
Bitch should get some balls, & DISagree w/ her Prof.
I didnât kiss a55 when I was in school. All of my teachers liked debate, of course, I was a Poly Sci major.
If college football is good enough for nearly every school in the University of North Carolina system, why isn't it good enough for UNC-Charlotte?That is the question many are asking after two of the stateâs best known educators said the 49ers should forget the gridiron.
Great lead-in by WBTV⌠Why isnât the Observer taking this approach instead of the âUNC Leaders Say No to UNCC Footballâ approach.
They used my helmet on the air! I posted that exact helmet on here a long time ago. I made it was a Jets helmet by peeling on the sticker and applying a decal. Thatâs freaking cool.
In a nutshell: imo they donât want the Big Four, and Clemson just down the road, to have another competitor for recruits in this area. Potential to throw a big wrench in the ACC football works, more than a third of the conference! Das why deyâs agin it!:biggrin:

We ran into the same issue in basketball when we joined CUSA. Some very influential people in this city and this state tried to dissuade us from joining.

Sorry to beat a dead horse.:tumble:
Wow! I am surprised to learn of that regarding the CUSA membership.
Had no clue! Did they actually ask us to leave the CUSA?
Apparently that girl didnt read utters blog on academic money and athletic money - and neither did her prof

I think it is mainly that some people believe money donated to academics will be switched over to athletics/football. I understand their concerns but I also believe if that were to happen, in the end it would make up for itself, b/c as we broaden the school to more potential applicants (both in numbers and quality), they in turn years later will donate to their academic colleges.

No one asked us to leave CUSA. But certain people of influence in the state and city were opposed to us joining CUSA.

I understand that⌠but at the same time I think that at least some of the money coming in for academics right now is coming from people who like both football and basketball - I wouldnt think they would change their donations over to football if they havent already done so for basketball.
I dont know - that might be a completely stupid statement. Iâm probably an idiot.

I see what youâre saying⌠but if we would get our fair share of state funding, it would help academics more than anything.

SCK,
you recent posts have not really sounded quite like yourselfâŚ
in in fact they donât sound dumb or illogical at all! I think Iâm starting to not hate you anymore.
I see what you're saying.... but if we would get our fair share of state funding, it would help academics more than anything.
No doubt
Good coverage! 
Nice job WBTV!
Great coverage. We donât need to explain why we should have football. They need to defend why we donât already have it. I have yet to hear anything reasonable to that end.
I feel very sorry for the girl who felt she couldn't be on TV, it is obvious her professor has lied to her about football/academics and she is brainwashed.
Reminds me of that nutjob History grad student on Niner Online who was always trying to make those Schulken-like arguments against football.
Iâve said it before, and Iâll say it again,
It is UNETHICAL for professors to give a biased opinion on football. Students look up to professors and probably even feel pressured to agree with the professor so they dont fail.
WBTV and David WhisenantâŚdefinitely giving the movement great coverage. Well done!!
clt has met whisenant multiple times. a great guy.
interestingly enough, he is an app state grad. clt hopes that this is a start of a greater revolution of all state schools who get the shaft in funding.
