[Vision2020] Skewed Priorities or Business as Usual?

[Tom Hansen]

Yes. EXACTLY!

The failure to meet academic standards during the 2008/2009 football
season was a subsequent result of Dennis Erickson's applied "Win at ALL
costs" philosophy.

If an undisciplined child continues "unacceptable" behavior a year after
being fostered out, is it the fault of the foster parents?

Correcting unacceptable behavior takes time, Mr. Price.

Coach Akey's immediate release of 20 student-athletes, when he first
assumed duties as head football coach, speaks loudly in his favor.

ok?

As a platoon sergeant, I often "inherited" some soldiers I refer to as
"problem children" into my platoon.  Many of these problem children
evolved into model soldiers . . . after some rather extensive,
time-consuming "remedial training".  These results did not happen over
night.
