Congrats YSU! That was truly an amazing effort! Coach Wolford you have done a tremendous job with these special and talented athletes. Couldn't be prouder to be Penguin fan tonight!!!!!
I fully understand and can sympathize with both sides of this heated dispute but what I have neither read nor heard is what is so often and undeservedly overlooked: concern for the student body. While I am hopeful that the fall semester will resume as soon as and as normally as possible, this hope is based on an assumption that there is at least a smidgen of concern for the potential repercussions to current and future Penguins. I dread what an extended strike could spell for students wholeheartedly planning a future that includes graduating this December. I am sure these students, whatever field they are pursuing, have given their all towards making YSU a better place to learn and Youngstown a better place to live. What is so crucial that faculty and administration cannot repay these dedicated scholars, volunteers and outstanding men and women for their years of service? I cannot possibly imagine. An agreement must be made and while we must strive for a compromise that benefits both sides of this financial feud, we cannot forget who needs to benefit most from it: the students!
