It gets to me when some people look down at those of us who didn’t go to “big name” colleges or even went to a community college. As a television news director I’ve hired grads from schools ranging from Northwestern, Duke and Southern Cal to Sam Houston State, Oklahoma East Central and Bacone College. It’s not the school it’s the quality of the person and the fire they have inside.
As far as Marquette Basketball recruiting goes the administration needs to function with an open mind. Last time I checked that was the best way to learn. The program is in the best shape it has been since the McGuire Era and it’s not that way because of decisions the current school president and AD made. I’m sure both gentlemen are open to supporting the success of the program, the individuals who have achieved that success and upholding the outstanding principles of the Jesuits. The last factor of "Jesuit Principles" should leave room to consider the individual's life journey.
