She is precious, and her name is beautiful. It will be such a joy, like I know it is with Evan, to learn about this little person God has entrusted to you and to hear His purpose for her and raise her up to be a success in His kingdom! Kids are a joy! Suzanne, I can't believe I've never met you and hope one day we can. I know you are all an awesome family, and we congratulate you in such a happy time! And hey, when the fog lifts, we need your address! (I threw away the envelope from your Christmas card silly gal ) Love you guys!

A better idea is to dispense with academics altogether in college sports. Just admit the athletes, let them play sports and do nothing else (unless they want to) and let the schools make as much money as possible before sending them on to the pros. This idea for funding higher education seems to me to make a lot more sense than Obama's idea of giving everyone a scholarship. Answer to Neil: Because that would cost the colleges a lot of money.

If the regulators supply a way around academic standards for college athletes who never should have been in college in the first place, there will be pleny of takers.
