Don't worry, 13, no offense taken.

And you may very well be right. Perhaps Brown was "too soft" and this guy is more "kick-ass" and that's what Colgate waants.

Having lived in Columbus when Gordon Gee was heading up Ohio State and then went to Brown (I live in RI), I was not surprised that Brown got into NCAA troubles. At the time, I attributed it to Gee's leadership as he is really focused on athletics and winning and rules violations was a way of life at OSU. He seemed to try to run Ivy League Brown like OSU. Then he bailed for Vanderbilt. The article implies Roach had responsibility for Brown's violations and certainly as AD, he has to take that responsibility. I'm still waiting for Vandy to be hit with violations now that Gee is there but these usually take some time to surface.

Just hope Roach/Colgate don't succumb to a win at any cost mentality.

Every year 'gate has athlete prospects in each sport that simply can't get by the admission's academic requirements not matter how hard the coach may try. 'gate's president firmly backs this policy. You may know that J. Branch the Peyton award winner last year and leading rusher in the nation had to sit out a year because his grades weren't up to par. The same thing happened this year to their second leading rusher who will return this year.

If these players have had to sit out seasons due to poor grades, I'd suggest that they should not have been admitted to your fine university in the first place....

and confidence can result in not paying attention to what is really important. That doesn't mean they were not qualified in the first place.
