Very Well Said

So you think suffering with Columbia football as a fan or alum is tough?

Imagine if you were a student at CU broadcasting the "games" for the last four years!

That's the rough story Ryan Young tells in this column in today's Columbia Spectator.

Some good quotes:

"Even for somebody who regards Ivy League football as a glorified exhibition, the situation has become unacceptable to the point where it is serious."

"The burden of this losing streak is tough for the student-athletes to deal with, but it can be eased with the appropriate new hires. So please, Columbia, disregard the financial hardships that come with hiring a new football coach. Take your time with this decision. Do not use the search for a new athletic director as an excuse, and form an independent committee if necessary. Please be open to outside advice and understand the implications of this decision."
