Excellent, most worthy and trusted scribe! I was having dinner last night with our friend Chet Lumish and when the topic came up, he reiterated his dislike for college football over the NFL. I enjoy the pageantry of college football, but it smacks of professionalism when you consider the $$$ thrown at top notch performers. In that regard, I stopped watching the Olympics years ago when professional athletes were permitted to perform. Come see us in December.
Wow I learned a lot - not following sports much unless it’s Pittsburgh which as you know I have no choice. You don’t have to accept it if you don’t want to but I know you and I can’t change it - money talks way too often in this life. Can’t blame some of the kids who have extended families to help take care of and a potentially short athletic life but if jumping ship is permitted and commercial endeavors want to pay - then that’s the way it will go if moral and ethical rules are off the table and money is on. Thx Roy.
Incredibly thoughtful and important message. In the meantime Miami and Ohio State are the two best teams this year. Enjoy!
