Ben Mays is trying to do the work of the people and should be praised(and assisted), not pilloried by the jockocracy. A Huckabee appointee to be appreciated and thankful for is a rarity; let us as concerned citizens of a troubled state get behind Mays and his quest for the facts. The "athaletick" pipeline in this state could stand more than a little light being shined into some dark corners. And always remember: don't say you're a sports fan; say you're an athletic supporter.

When the bulk of public school administrators are ex coaches........................just don't be surprised.
