I'm not whining about the news conferences - that's part of the way things work. I'm only saying if you don't really want the attention, then don't have news conferences and handlers. If that's what you want, you have to be able to accept the negative publicity with the the positives.

There are plenty of athletes that sign without the news conferences, in the privacy of their own home or HS coach's office. There are plenty more students that are not athletes that choose their school without a handler. I still think it's a great analogy.
Geeze, how old are you?! Does anyone in school now know what a slide rule is? Perhaps a press conference is needed to remind people what one looks like?
