Haven't posted here in years........didn't read most of the thread.
But I'll add this.........pretty much every school in the nation, or at least all PWIs, have a racist tradition, or building, or famous alum with a statue, or SOMETHING on campus.
How the University and coaches deal with this is the key. I would suggest it's a mistake for Sark to side with donors over players, and that should be fairly obvious. What's not so obvious is that time changes everything........including beloved songs. On the scale of racial issues that have an easy fix, this one is pretty damned simple to resolve.
One thing about America....... every time we are on the precipice of positive change, a certain segment of the population recoils and reasserts the fundamental lie of this nation.
As a fan, I certainly hope they make the right decision. Boosters come and go. If the team wins and nobody ever sings EOT again they'll be back.
