And subbing is not the greatest gig in the world. You do not make a whole lot of money subbing. Why should someone with a college degree have to sub??
Also, history is not a bad field to get into. There are a lot of jobs opening up for History teachers, especially those who can coach.
I don't know why he would wait until 2009 to get into the program when he could get his general history degree and then go back and get his cert in a masters program which would allow him to go in at a higher pay rate. As for why someone with a college degree should have to sub, I guess when you don't do what you needed to do to get the credentials for the job you really want you might consider that until you get where you want to be. I feel bad for him, but he knew what the rules were and knew what he needed to do and he didn't get the job done.

In my opinion wrestling does not need a black eye at the college level in Illinios. Coach Grant is a principled man who has always been very forthcoming to me and others I associate with. Accept the hand that has been dealt and move forward.

Thanks for the information, Shannon. While I wish that ILMatmen could get the recognition that it deserves both at the Chronicle and elsewhere, your explanation makes sense. I imagine that if someone in DeKalb (takedown2, mencoe ) would write a letter to the editor, then they could reference the site to let everyone in on the whole strory. Once again, thanks for shareing your insight. That's what makes this website so good.
