From the article I read in the Times-Dispatch this seems to be over the top and smacks of what we criticize many of the I-A programs--lavish facilities, catered athletes with their engraved cubicles, and we wonder where the 'T.O's' of world come from?? We create them by pandering to their egos when young, and cultivating them through high school, and college. :deadhorse
