I am a USAFA grad. This guy has been been trying to create sensationalism (make a name for himself) by attacking USAFA with all sorts of “breaking news from USAFA”. The just release IG report on the Athletic Dept which gave a more than passing grade of efficient, must have made him set his sights on a new target. Be patient, he will go away.

I don’t believe a word of it. Neither should you.

When I was on active duty as a young Lieutenant serving on a division staff, I used to hate attending staff meetings with USMA grads. We called them ring knockers because when they wanted to make a specific point with the CG they'd gently rap their college rings on the table. Then there was the very real specter of the famed WPPA or West point Protective Association which kept the grads out of the most serious troubles that can befall young officers. Because it's senior West Pointers that sit on promotion boards. Another thing that always bothered me (being a graduate of ROTC myself) was the fact that all USMA grads graduated before the ROTC students so they had automatic date of rank over us, so in a group of young officers of identical ranks, the pointers had the power. So I harken back in a snarky manner to the great cheating scandals of that era and recall fondly the change in mascot from the donkey to the Cheetah.

Considering all the crap that has gone on under Troy Calhoun, I can understand why you might be inclined to disregard this kind of report. USAFA is the only place you can go 2-10 and still have a job as head coach.
