I'd say this is very significant news (thanks Poog for reporting it). Unlike the case at many schools, athletic issues do run the risk of being neglected or undermined at GW. While he wasn't a member of the Board, we haven't had this level of administrative support in our corner since Dr. Chernak. No way to know for sure that this will be a good thing but it certainly can't end up being a bad thing. I'd also add that whether you approved or disapproved of Mark Diaz's possible tactics in dismissing JC and bringing in CC, one conclusion that can be made is that assuming what's been raised here was true, he does care quite a bit about the success of the men's basketball program. Given the precarious state of things, we should gladly accept passion over apathy among the powers that be.
