Luck tackles Big 12 issues, finances
Sports Editor

WEST VIRGINIA athletic director Oliver Luck seems to be embracing his job more every day.

    luck must be a democrat. we lost 200,000 on bowl but could have been worse. payed florida state half a millon but could have been worse. big money for big east buyout but could have been worse. only get small percentage from new conference but could have been less. spoken like a true democrat. and finally, where does the money come from? raise ticket prices and sponsorship prices and concession prices and who gets the bill. sounds like democrats spend spens spend and let the taxpayers take care of the bill. Thanks lucky, we are so glad to have you!!!

    Leave Smitty alone, obviously he a a huge doaner, read his comment again, he said "WE" lost 200k ... Mean while us little donors are more than happy to pay a little higher ticket and food prices for the elevation in prestige and competion. Smit, it is called an INVESTEMNT!

    smitty must be blind to the world. Luck is a Republican. But pointing fingers at Democrats or Republicans does not solve the issue. The issue is, that they are all crooked.
