Aren't the athletes (at least partially) to blame by definition?  If they would just play better the teams wouldn't suck so much.

Maybe, considering their abilities and coaching, they're playing as well as they can. Maybe we just need better athletes and coaches.

Who, really, would be to blame in that scenario? The collateral damage is unfortunate, but acceptable since it doesn't involve actually harming anyone.

That said, regardless of how low my opinion of the Cornell administration is, I doubt they would actually do something this awful so it's probably pointless to argue over.

QuoteOTOH, if you want to burn the administration in effigy, go to it.
Like that would move them one iota. You get them to change their minds by giving them the exact opposite of what they aim for.

Nothing to argue about in that article.  Seems fair.
