Outreach from Athletics
I received a call today from Jamie... a recent UT grad and now an intern in athletics who sought some input from me. I don't really know if I was personally targeted, or if I was simply one of thousands on her list.
I am glad the department is reaching out. She was polite, interested and engaging. I was VERY open and blunt with her and I think she understood where I was going.
I basically told her that I used to be INCREDIBLY involved... personal friends with numerous coaches... I also said that people, especially athletes come to Rice because they EMBRACE the great challenges... Why does Rice play Texas? That accepting the great challenges, even when you fail is more honorable and more 'The Rice Way' than jumping over a lowered bar. YES, just win... but NOT by rigging the game.
Others may get the call... you may or may not agree with me... but if you do get the call, please also be blunt.
