@RobDauster Saw this earlier today. Used to work in Nacogdoches and went to SFA and covered the program before these coaches arrived. I know the guy that wrote the story. I still can’t believe he got the coach to speak and deliver those quotes. Such a wild story.

I'm tired of hearing people say "it's just sports." Sports are my livelihood. Sports are how I support my family. I get the decisions that were made and why they were made, but it's also more than "just sports" to me and a lot of other people who make a living because of sports.
