Parents want to see their son or daughter walk across the stage, turn their tassels, get their diplomas, and take a memorable photo of the big day. This is about all students, not student-athletes.

While I would prefer graduation be on campus, respectfully, there's not ONE potential student athlete out there that will make their decision on whether to choose LB because graduation will be on campus or at the Big A.
Recruits look primarily at the package they get (scholarship and spending MONEY), coaches, facilities and chance to win or improve personally. There are some ancillary things like schedule, academic and personal help and location, but LB needs money, plain and simple...all other discissions are basically just noise. Previous Message
Newsbreak has an article today about this years graduation. Students are very upset and should be. This can adversely affect athletics recruiting.
The Prez claims to have a No Barriers campaign when in fact all she does is create barriers and additional problems and issues that need to be tackled.
