Another Uninformed Person

[Michael Ryan]

Here is another example of someone with power not getting all the facts
before making statements to the press. 

Arne Duncan is the head of the Chicago Public School System. 

"The whole thing is a travesty," Duncan said of Huggins' record and West
Virginia's seeming apathy about it. "This exemplifies everything that's
wrong with big-time athletics.   "There is no sense of academics having
any importance whatsoever. There's just a coach and a school becoming
wealthy, largely on the backs of poor inner-city kids.   "The fact this
gets rewarded, that another school (WVU) wants to hire this guy is
mind-boggling to me. I would discourage our athletes from going to a
program like that. It just infuriates me."

FYI:  the last recruit to come out of Chicago to Cincinnati was Levertis
Robinson.  If Duncan is going to say these things without investigating
them first, we can forget about Chicago talent coming to Clifton.  If
you wish to voice a complain, the writers email address is at the bottom
of the article.
