The Drake Group announces the formation of its Advisory Council. TDG
established this group so that we might solicit the opinion and experts
in the issues surrounding academic integrity and intercollegiate
athletics. The goal of the Advisory Council is for the members to
provide insight and feedback as to how you think TDG is doing in regard
to getting out our message and defending academic integrity.
The Drake Group sends a letter to the CEO of The Knight Foundation
- Below is the letter The Drake Group sent to the CEO and President,
Mr. Ibargüen, of The Knight Foundation. As many of you may be aware,
The Knight Commission will be meeting soon in Miami, FL. TDG wrote a
letter to Mr. Ibargüen making him aware of the fact that The Knight
Commission has NOT been effective in defending academic integrity in
the midst of the big-business of commericialized college athletics. We
will be following the outcome of this meeting as it will be interesting
to see if Mr. Ibargüen requires the committee to act in a way that will
result in affecting positive change as it pertains to placing academic
interests ahead of athletic interests. Click here to download this letter.
