A Sweet 16 Deal

I must admit.  I am jealous.  Today, Davidson College trustees announced it will pay for students to attend the Sweet 16 game versus Wisconsin.  That's right!  300 Davidson College students will travel to Detroit for the Midwest Regional at NO CHARGE!  Free bus ride, two nights of lodging and a ticket to the game.  Now that is a Sweet 16 Deal! 

Anyone who follows college hoops knows getting a ticket to an NCAA Sweet 16 game is difficult and expensive.  Furthermore, to witness your team (the darlings of the 2008 Tourney), battle it out to advance to the Elite Eight will be an unforgettable experience.

As many people will tell you, the college years are the best years of your life.  Congratulations to the basketball team for beating the odds and making it to the Sweet 16 in almost four decades.  Congratulations to the Wildcat fans who got the golden ticket to Michigan.  Consider yourselves fortunate for an opportunity that you will remember for the rest of your lives.

I think it is great that Davidson has made it this far in the tournament, but as a parent trying to figure out how to pay for college for my children, I think if my child went to this school, I would be upset that the school was spending my hard earned money to send the campus to the tournament. Am I the only one that feels this way?

I am "lucky" to work with the most respected names in television news in the Piedmont, such as veterans Neill McNeill, Van Denton and Rich Brenner. As co-anchor of the FOX 8 5:00, 6:00 and 10:00 Newscasts, our job is to inform you with the news you need to know and what interests you most. Many of our stories come from your ideas. We are here to help so I encourage you to give your feedback. Setting the formalities aside, I'm originally from "The O.C." in California. After working as Anchor/Reporter in five TV stations across the country in the past decade, it's relieving to settle in the beautiful and lush North Carolina. If I'm not exploring the area, you can find me trying new restaurants or jogging with my barky, but loveable dog. During my downtime, I continue to search for a remedy to de-frizz my hair caused by the humidity, shop for television clothes that are not my favorite basic (but boring) black, and decide whether or not to wear my glasses.
