“When your mission is to change the world, you’re not just recruiting a tailback.”
That line was emblematic of the tone in Bronco Mendenhall’s remarks to the Board of Visitors on Friday, June 8th. He pitched a clear-eyed vision for producing both conference champion-level football teams that “directly and specifically and completely align” with the goals and values of the University, AND a generation of leaders who have developed fortitude and a sense of purpose beyond themselves.
Yes, this is the same Board of Visitors meeting you read about in the Daily Progress. The same one over which you’ve seen fury and ire pour forth across Twitter or message boards.
