at the alumni hall of fame banquet recently, the religious studies professor that has been at UNCC forever made a speech about how we donāt need football or a name change and he got applauded!
What out of touch peopleā¦completely out of touch with freakin reality.
I bet there is close to $10 mil and 10,000 donors waiting on the sidelines for football to pop.
I know I have my $1000 check pinned to my wall and cleared with the wife.

Thatās because he and the others are administration A$$-Kissers, and they know what the administration is against and what the administration is forā¦
Thatās why they were allowed or āvotedā to be there in the first place. By playing nicely with the boss.

I am canceling my yearly donation to the Religious Studies Departmentā¦
Itās possible that he simply thinks it would be disadvanageous for the university to get football or a name change. There are certainly plenty of people, old and young, with this opinion. I canāt imagine that it would be worth boycotting him or even disliking over that sort of thing. Itās not always a kiss-up thing or a being out of touch thing. Some people just donāt think there should be football here or that we should change our name. Itās not like that position is EVIL or anything. I happen to like the sound of āUNCC.ā

But the thing that getās under my skin is the way that this professor made their opinion public. I wasnāt there, but you have to stretch to make those two things relevant in that situation. Same reason I hate celebs using their spotlight to speak against something/someone. No difference. Sure Iām jealous that we have trouble getting that kind of stage, but I really donāt think this professor has their current job because of where they stand on these two topics. And [I]that [/I]is my point.
speaking of Professors, does anyone know what Professor Connaughton charges for Economic Impact Studies? I think the Football movement needs to get him to do a study about the āEconomic Impact of D1 Football in Charlotteā to help sell this thing better.

I seem to remember someone on here saying they were going to try to get permission to do such a study for a class or something. Good idea though!

Yes, Iām sure he charges. Iām proposing this as my masters thesis topic when I meet with my advisor next semester.
