Re: ODAC lax season is on

President Dudley has shown that he is not a bold leader, but rather an unimaginative administrator who is too heavily influenced by forces outside of The University. Given his tenure at Williams, and his total disregard for the history and tradition at W&L, he is totally clueless about the impor...

Re: ODAC lax season is on

Lynchburg seems to have a relatively normal schedule with Salisbury and The Mustang Classic. No other ODAC school seems that ambitious. Kudos to The Hornets!!

Re: C2C 2021

I would love to have some of the member institutions explain the rationale for this..I certainly cannot see any.

Teams from California, Michigan and Massachusetts are going to travel to Buena Vista, VA to play a game--how does that make sense?

Re: 2021 Cancellations

Agree with how important all sports are at D3 schools--do not forget how sports alumni are strong financial and emotional supporters of their institutions and how many help recruit student athletes to their institutions....Additionally, sports are one of the few activities that are the "glue&qu...

Re: W&L 2020

The course at issue is a writing course for undergraduate freshmen. It is poorly titled and the syllabus makes is clear that students will be asked to "rewrite history," and "a Manifesto." IMHO is it incompatible with the mission of Washington and Lee, the University's traditions...

Re: ODAC 2020

They are going to have students back on campus, and appear to be anticipating a large number of them back. Do not think it would be that tough for at least cross country to compete.

Expect Winter sports to be next- in the midst of the name change battle.

Re: ODAC 2020

Apparently the ODAC is still planning some type of season for Fall sports. Kudos to them!!!

The Washington and Lee Prez is certainly not much on imaginative thinking..

I assume that any athlete on the Fall teams will get a waiver for another year of eligibility.....

Re: W&L 2020

The President does not have any intestinal fortitude and PC has been running rampant in Lex for almost 3 years. I expect to hear later this month that all Fall sports are cancelled and the future of all others including lax, "are being reviewed..." As a double degree alum, things are not g...

Re: W&L 2020

The contributions Lee made to the school after the Civil War is why he is part of the name. Lee went to Lexington at the request of The Board of Trustees and assumed the Presidency of Washington College, which has 40 students and was near bankruptcy. He persuaded Cyrus McCormick, the inventor a the ...

Re: ODAC 2020

I should not have made my earlier post about the name issue. As a poster has since noted, this is a lax forum, and the name issue is not a topic that really belongs here.

Re: ODAC 2020

There is an incipient Facebook movement to drop Lee from the name at W&L and a number of similar suggestions about campus life and some of the buildings. There is very strong, well organized and funded opposition from a large group of alumni, but given the current PC obsessed administration, any...

Re: D3 Program and Schedule Status Updates

The President of W&L was on TV last week stating they are going back on time and all classes will be on campus.

More detailed plans are expected the first couple of weeks of June.

Hope that happens.....
