Can we, finally, move as a university to eliminate the main cause of
Athletics deficits and the main problem with Title IX compliance?  The
students have emphatically said "no new taxes" for sports.  It is time
for football at UTC to go the way of the dinosaurs before the entire
Athletics Department goes bankrupt.

If anyone else out there thinks it is time to follow ETSU's lead in
retiring intercollegiate football in order to concentrate on sports in
which we can be competitive on a leaner budget, now is the time to let
Chancellor Stacy and Athletic Director Sloan know how you feel.

For my part, "Dear University administrators: please give serious
consideration to the message just sent by an overwhelming majority of
students and, I believe, echoed by a majority of faculty and staff.  The
status quo in Athletics cannot be sustained, and I urge you to re-focus
on the University's academic mission.  Please make the painful but
necessary changes to make the intercollegiate athletics program solvent
without state money or new student fees."
