Re: Wish I could give you a plus 1/2. Some very strong points in there
Oh not to worry, sir. I've been made clear of my mistakes in the past 24 hours! I do apologize, and I realize that this was certainly not the place to share my opinions in such a firm manner, but I was curious and frustrated as to why I kept seeing so many degrading posts about a fellow conference member that has never wronged anyone. Wake Forest is certainly not the reason that we don't have an ACCN or the reason we lag in revenue.
We only have our own institutions to blame (and a huge "tip of the hat" to Swoffie!) I may have come off as insulting, and this was the wrong place to do so, but I felt that it was insulting to the ACC and its fans for so many fans of one of the "new schools" to suggest booting a charter member on ludicrous pretenses. I'm young, but I'm old school I guess.
It's our duty as fans and alumni to push the powers that be at our respective institutions to make things right. And we have to do our part to show our support (that was another issue I had when reading some posts - your own fans admit that fan support isn't at the level of should/could be, yet they were criticizing a fellow institution because of revenue sharing.)
The damage is done, I know. But there was no ill intent, rather that "AAAARRGGGHHHH WHEN DID YOU BECOME SO UPPITY!?" feeling that I had to let out.
As someone said, it's the vocal minority that you have to watch out for.
