A lot of the non-elite students get swept up in that, excited by, interested in it, and recruited by it.

We have unfortunately had 33 students that have had to withdraw from school [this semester]. That is an issue we want people to understand we will deal with it and we want people to stay away from it.

There's no question this has been a rallying point for students and the community. We were packed at the Bloomington South game (on Jan. 14), and we've had tremendous support at our last four games on the road. It's become a real sixth man for our team.

I'd like to have students graduating from high school with a sense of what they want to do in post-secondary education. We need to think about at our level what majors and minors we want to provide (if the bill passes).

As tough as these consequences are, we will not back down from that. We love the students. We want them to learn these are dangerous issues they are involving themselves in.

The 'C' students run the world.
