Something is guaranteed to happen to Ohio State if they report it. If the university is doing “too well”, someone will come out of the woodwork with some dirt.

In a certain Scandal Evading Conference, one could probably get away with unspeakble deeds by comparison.

Leaders of fraternities have been unable to prevent occasional deaths from hazing. (Hazing which was routine during my time in college.)

Not all “traditions” are worthwhile or desirable.

Right. The OSU admin could have easily said we have a new band director on board so we are tasking him to get it turned around.

Instead they now have a nasty law suit which OSU will lose because their legal staff is totally outclassed.

You’re talking about Florida A&M University, which for years has been a school run to support a band.

Having been a Band Parent now for 8 years of high school band and 2 of college band, we stand by the old saying that the football game is just something to keep the people entertained before and after the band show.

Love it!
