Sands great Academically & Partnership wise, but he was asleep Athletically

He’s a three degree Cal guy, where football doesn’t mean more. He way underrated what it means to the Virginia Tech nation. So J. Pierce is saying that Whit was telling him, but he wouldn’t listen. So now he gets to stay a while longer, many have the expiration date no later than when we hire a new President next year. They could easily ride out together, since Whit is covering Sands for the football debacle.
