What's this?

My point is that shouldn't be necessary

And I understand a call can be made and I could even do it but the point is why are we allowing all of these other schools to beat us to the punch on good students. The fact is this a great academic kid who has already gotten overture letters from UNCC, Elon, UNCG, others, and an email from Crapel Hole. I guess it is how/when you decide to spend your marketing money as a school. It matters to the kids and we appear to be lagging. Maybe that is just how we do things. I can only tell you it is not a good look to a kid that wants to attend ECU and has the grades.
