Virginia Tech has a once-in-a-millennium opportunity to enhance its football recruiting strategy by building a practice facility whose conveniences will attract the attention of our best high school players. Cutting down a rare old growth forest is a small price to pay for a shot at a national championship.
A bunch of eco freaks have some damn fool petition up about saving the trees, and if we give in to them the high schoolers will see what pussies we are and maybe not come. If our university doesn’t stand for giving all we’ve got to impress high school football players, it doesn’t stand for anything.
