[NU Sports] Anucha

[Jeff Beamsley]

I heard a report on NPR where Anucha was interviewed.

She was impressive.  Were I someone looking for an articulate credible
representative, she convinced me.

She famed this case as a victory not only for women, but for all the
honorable men who have mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters in the work
force.

I don't know what these guys were thinking, but clearly it is another example
of pride (or maybe anatomy) going before the fall.

Art,
Your "dream conference" is a very interesting concept, albeit quite radical
in some respects, but why limit it only to football?  If there's any sport
where NU certainly doesn't measure up to Big Ten standards, it's Men's
Hoops.  
And as for other sports, NU and its new conference mates can hold  their own
in many of them.
 
By the way, speaking of Hoops, how come the deafening silence here in terms
of today's resounding victory for one of our all-time greats in Women's
Basketball, Anucha Browne Sanders?  I met Anucha at NU Sports Night in NY
over Summer, the annual NU Club of NY event.  She was impressive then, and
knowing what I knew about the case, and about discrimination cases in general
(as my partners do a lot of them, and I am sometimes involved), I was not
surprised that Madison Square Garden, James Dolan (one of the worst owners in
professional sports, a one-man wrecking crew), and Isaiah Thomas got creamed
by  the jury.  This was a train wreck waiting to happen, and the arrogant
defendants spurned settlement and now are publicly humiliated and stand to be
much poorer as well.
