My $2 I don't like the NCAA and their UN tactics of playing favorites so I say shove it. The only other thing that comes to mind is when was the last time any team from Mississippi or South Carolina ever played for anything other than second fiddle?
As a teacher, as social studies teacher at that... I can say that what we are told to push in class is exactly that.. that he was a saint that wouldn't kill a fly... no mention is ever made of the fact that before he died he was starting to advocate more and more the approach of the black power movement...
It is a non-issue as far as LSU is concerned, it just means that NCAA basketball/baseball tourneys will never take place in the state of South Carolina. (None of the smaller sports either). I just disagree with the NCAA making political statements. I mean they run the largest sweatshop in the world, but flying a CONFEDERATE FLAG over a CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL is wrong?
