Message: [QUOTE="dasher, post: 5419237, member: 6061"] ??? You mean we should overlook his past which involved a girl getting killed because he can help us win football games. Got it. For those that have disagreed with my take on bringing in kids with troubled pasts, let me make myself clear. I keep thinking what would I say to a parent of a Syracuse student who got hurt or worse from the actions of a kid that had a bad background that I brought in to the school. Because I wanted to win football games. Or any other sport. When the parent asks me to explain why I brought that kid in. Now, you might say, any kid can make a mistake and that could happen. And you would be correct. But we wouldn't have been forewarned. I want to win as much as anyone on this board. But that is the background I come from. So, SUFnn44, since you brought this up, exactly what would you say to that parent I just described? [/QUOTE]
