In the case of a major public institution who is infested with liberals, in an otherwise conservative state, it’s a fairly significant move and wins the new President of the University a lot of goodwill with the fans and Alumni.
BTW, the new President came from the University of Alabama and knows about the traditions and history of SEC football so that played a large roll in getting the cheer back.
I understand that the institution has been corrupted.
The fans have zero excuse.
If they’d wanted to do the chant, if they’d all channeled their inner Spartacus, what was the uni gonna do?
Ban them all?!
The uni could try.
But tv coverage of seats going begging would have ended that ban real quick.
So now the uni pres says they have his permission/blessing??
The fans could always do it.
Gutless wonders all.
