Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we deserve to be in the Big East.
Admittedly we took a few liberties with our female party guests over the years in the
Ghetto - we did. [ Rollo winks at Commishnor Val Ackerman)
But you can't hold an entire whole basketball program responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted students & alumni who partied a little too much in 70's and 80's and perhaps didn't meet your Jesuit standards.
For if you do, then shouldn't we blame every college student
accountable?
And if the whole college system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of Jesuit schools like Marquette and
Xavier that also partied too much in the 70's and '80s ?
I put it to you, Commissioner Ackerman this way - isn't this an indictment of every beer drinking college student in America?
Well, you can do whatever you want to the UD Basketball Program but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth THE UNVERSITY OF Dayton. Gentlemen!
