There is something fishy going on there. Hugh Freeze has had issues in the past and lots more will come out about Jerry Jr. I live in Virginia and have some good inside sources. The board of regents is very concerned about some things that have happened which is why they forced Jerry Jr out. Without being told the specifics, these sources have told me there are lots of internal investigations going on regarding Jerry’s actions as President. I would not be surprised if many of those investigations involve the athletic department.
Besides, it is a little hard for me to feel sympathy for a “university” that teaches people the LDS church is a cult and shows Godmakers as educational material to its students. If they have told us “no” about playing the 19th, then I see no need to push the issue and don’t really care what happens to them.
