    Because Republicans don't pander or don't have a problem with racism?

    Will be interesting to see if this spills over to other campuses. UNC, you might be on the clock. Lots of students, faculty, etc., aren't happy with that system's recently selected new president.

    The more liberals we have addressing race relations, the better the solutions will sound.

    Twitter's fun right now.

    Also, to steal a line, once Pinkel stood with the players and said the coaches were done, the president was toast.

    This is why the powers that be fear unions so much. Just think if there were a college sports players union.

    A "she".

    And she has committed the double sin of: 1) having worked for Dubya; and 2) not saying that everyone should try being a homosexual every now and then.

    And she recently made similarly dumbfounding remarks about LGBT students - calling it a "lifestyle." The difference there is the LGBT students don't have nearly the same political clout.

    There would be about 100 fewer football teams.

    Is Wolff getting a thick severance?

    If so, the former president gets a golden parachute, who is the real winner here?

    Nobody is the winner in this situation, and if anything, it will only divide the races.

    And if you think for one second this was about racism, you're wrong. This was about football and money.
