These folks put in a lot of work for little reward and are a true asset to UNCC. <BR/><BR/>The voter turnout was impressive. About 80% of the students voting said that they'd be willing to commit extra funds to 49er football. Presumably they've spoken with their parents, who would be paying for their commitment. <BR/><BR/>The reality, though, is that this number amounts to only 30% of the student population. The poll never asked the basic question. Do you want or not want football at UNCC? Instead, it assumed that folks wanted football and asked them what they would commit to. I have to wonder what weight commitments like this really hold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-47244621150654729722007-02-21T00:07:00.000-05:002007-02-21T00:07:00.000-05:00THANK YOU for finally putting something positive u...THANK YOU for finally putting something positive up about this Football vote.

Even if the vote doesn't turn out the way it should, we won't be able to blame it on the administration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
