Grambling State football chaos directly at the feet of Republican philosophy

I guess Bobby Jindal thought he might be repug nominee in 2012 so he refused stimulus funds and in return stripped education what a jack ass


"Some of the players’ frustration stems from the numerous cases of infighting by the adults in charge, but the root cause of the chaos can be found in the Louisiana Governor’s office of Bobby Jindal. Governor Jindal rejected federal stimulus funds in 2009, while also cutting 219 million dollars in state funds for higher education, $5 million of which would have gone to Grambling State. In 2012, Jindal cut another million that was due to go to Grambling State’s operating costs."

the Obama administration didn't avoid some blame as well for the situation.

the comedy of errors at Grambling can't entirely be laid at Jindal/Obama's feet....The president and AD still deserve the lion's share of the blame....
