Also... the phrase, “It’s not college. It’s Coastal!” didn’t arise from nowhere.
Ask me about the time I was engaged to speak to ALL of the ‘Student’ Athletes at Coastal on a weekday early evening during Spring Term at a “mandatory” session for them. Just as it was mandatory the evening before @ Georgia Tech when I spoke to over 200 Student Athletes.
Aw...you don’t have to ask, I’ll tell you....
Those 3 Women’s Soccer Players were a great audience!
The embarrassed Assoc AD said...”Well, the Football Players just are never around here after Fall Term & I guess the rest of the Teams had ‘other things’ to do.”
Hmmm...now that I think about it...maybe some of the GT kids had ‘waved ‘em off.’
Anyhooooo....WAY Different sets of standards between the University of Conway & good ol’ FU.
