UW in Big Ten: ‘Best choice for its student athletes’

Editorial author Alex Fryer couldn’t be farther from the reality in his editorial on College of Washington soccer being a few model and never folks.

From the start, the main focus of UW athletic director Jen Cohen and the UW athletic division was to offer the absolute best expertise for scholar athletes. As faculty sports activities modified over the previous years, the choices to maneuver ahead in a optimistic means grew to become fewer and fewer. The UW sponsors groups in dozens of males’s and girls’s NCAA-sanctioned sports activities that profit from soccer income.

I applaud the UW for inspecting the viable choices for this system and making your best option for its scholar athletes. To insinuate that this was completed for a “model” or just for cash is completely lacking the large image of the altering panorama of school athletics.
