“I just don’t think the football coaches should get paid what they’re paid,” Joshuah Gross, a [Western Carolina University] student said bluntly, shaking his head over the amount of money [a coach] pulled down.
Gross ran out of money to attend WCU and is headed to a local community college to continue his education. He works at Rolling Stone Burrito on campus to earn his living.
“The team is terrible, and here they are planning to sink even more money into a failing program,” Gross said one day last week. “The professors are suffering — they need to redirect that money into other areas, like into the engineering department.”
…”Nobody at Western gives a (expletive) about the football team — we are all there for the marching band [said another student]. They are just great.”
[A member of the athletics director search committee said that] athletics, along with other university programs, help students with “professional development, personal development and their networking” abilities. It helps build “good character,” she said.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
