Death penalty for Miami Hurricanes? How about the death penalty for corporations who kill?

Posted on August 19, 2011 by kwilder

USA Today has the story about violations at The Miami Hurricanes, and how the NCAA has a “death penalty” provision for teams who engage in egregious ethics violations. That is probably a good policy.

Michael Phelps: Swimming success; ADHD; and marijuana no surprise

Posted on February 2, 2009 by iwilder

KW: I do not think it is a great idea to smoke marijuana. The fact that it is illegal, means that there is a shady, black market for the substance, which using marijuana will support. And, I have known people that smoked marijuana a long time, and you can tell. Still, as  a green and […]
