The fourth quarter touchdown from Chandler to Brown marked Campbell’s 23rd passing touchdown of the season, tying the school record previously set in 2021.
And all that money for an embarrassing season and new coach. Imagine if they did away with that team, they might have enough to update the dorms that we pay so much for our kids to live in.
As someone who attends there, you are not wrong. The campus is suffering unless it’s SGA or their precious teams. Departments are losing professors, more money put into stupid events and clubs, library lacking study spaces, and I can keep going.
