[Vision2020] Massacre on the blue turf

U of I continue?"

Well, Jack, I don't think we have really had a football team for the last 
few years at UI. I don't think it is just the fault of the coaches. I really 
think we should put all of are money and energy into our female athletic 
programs. We have some really good female athletes at the UI and with the 
right reinforcement, funding, and support I believe we could be the top ten 
in the nation in over a half dozen areas. Did you know our Women's Rodeo 
team is 3rd in the Nation?

I fail to see the constant obsession with thinking we have to be good at 
football and continue to pump millions into a lost cause. We are good at 
many other things, and those are things we should focus on, our natural 
talents.
