On Feb. 27, Mississippi Today reporter Anna Wolfe broke the news that a welfare nonprofit, the Mississippi Community Education Center, gave $5 million to Southern Miss for the $7 million Wellness Center.
Although the center is supposed to be multipurpose, it’s infamously known for being a new and improved volleyball facility that’s getting in the way of 200 parking spots.
Finally, our anger toward its construction is justified. We know that the construction of a volleyball court can’t help those below the poverty line.
Volleyball players and other athletes do not deserve this criticism and hatred for this facility.
