I’ll put in a plug for Davidson Learns, even though I rarely participate (usually trying to sign up after classes are full). I don’t think they even give certificates.

From our distance it is hard to say how mandatory mandatory may have been in real life. Did any athlete miss seeing it? If so, what were the repercussions? We had required “chapel” back in my day. We were allowed a number of cuts, increasing with each class year. So I’m sure I missed a number of thi...

$60M has been approved for the first phase of upgrading UNCC’s football stadium.

Agreed, Cowie. Jamie gave a tour to me and Beth. Fabulous. It benefits everyone. That weight room is sweet. Another person gave me a locker room tour. That will help recruiting. One of my classmates has toured the facilities, and he was especially impressed by the locker room. He didn’t go into det...

Best of luck to Chloe. I appreciated her intensity on and off the court. I hope she finds a great spot for her next stop and her basketball adventures.

I did have a chance to speak with her briefly after the banquet to tell her how much I had enjoyed watching her play.

Several years back the head of one of Japan’s largest companies was asked about equal pay for equal work, and whether hiss company would be moving toward that. He said that if women would do their jobs the best they could, then karma would take care of that. After I thought about that a bit, I took ...

If Zach becomes US President someday we will brag for decades about his attendance at Davidson ... even though he enrolled for only one year. I bet we'd brag about him even if he just became a US Senator or a cabinet secretary. Looking forward to seeing him play and what he brings to the team. I wa...

Sure, for schools interested in academic requirements. Most will be happy to waive those for athletes.

So what else is new?

Maybe. (In reference to a Davidson year helping his odds of getting into med school) Maybe. There is some chance that what I wrote is true. But since I don't know anything about his academic background or his professional ambitions, it might not be at all relevant to him. But since our game seems t...

The extra year at Davidson will increase his chances of getting into med school.

Jon Axel's little brother has entered the portal from Penn State. He has 3 years of eligibility. Don't know if Davidson ever had interest. https://gopsusports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/bragi-gu-mundsson/14194 Bragi will be playing for Campbell University on a full scholarship, according to ...

I don’t know much about it (which has not been much impediment in this thread anyway), but I heard that Davidson now has some kind of certificate program that could be earned in students’ postgraduate years. Are they awarded a Participation Trophy rather than a diploma? Maybe a Colt 45 award if the...

I don’t know much about it (which has not been much impediment in this thread anyway), but I heard that Davidson now has some kind of certificate program that could be earned in students’ postgraduate years. Maybe that and $5 will get you a cup of coffee, or maybe credits could go toward master’s de...

If we all pool our ignorance during our pearl clutching maybe we can get rather refined facts.

The people who threw rocks at a little girl trying to go to elementary school may not regret doing it, but they don’t want their grandchildren and great-grandchildren to find out about it.
