[Vision2020] Skewed Priorities or Business as Usual?

[Tom Hansen]

Wayne Price blindly asks:

"First, why are we keeping a football coach that failed to meet the
minimum NCAA Academic Progress Rate?"

Coach Rob Akey's first season at UI was 2007.  One of his first acts was
as head football coach was to cut 20 student-athlete names from the roster
for failure to meet team/school standards.

If you will remember correctly, it was Coach Akey's predecessor, Dennis
Erickson, whose approach to football was philosophy was "Win at ALL Costs,
regardless of academic or (sometimes) criminal records".

So, you see, Mr. Price . . .

The University of Idaho is no longer "keeping a football coach that failed
to meet the minimum NCAA Academic Progress Rate".
