The road ahead in the home for the Big Island’s NCAA representative, UH-Hilo looks a bit overcast these days.
Are those serious storm clouds forming or is it just another passing shower?
The concerns are obvious. The longterm future for state schools in the PacWest is a pertinent subject and it will probably be one of those topics clinging to the schools likes barnacles on a boat. In the NCAA, the cartel that runs college athletics in our country, power politics are central to the mission to control college students.
When BYU-Hawaii shutters its athletic department at the end of the spring sports season, there will be three remaining state schools in the 14-school conference, Chaminade and Hawaii Pacific on Oahu and UH-Hilo here on the Big Island.
