Lovie title: Professor of Concussions?
Turned on the hopeless little screen to see former Bears coach Lovie Smith being introduced as the new University of Illinois coach in a special live news event.
Thought occurred to me if we'd see a live news event of the fabled Land of Lincoln flagship school introducing a great scholar or researcher. Nah. U.S. doesn't value scholarship or research. That's why Lovie gets a $21 million dollar deal, before incentives, while the professors who do the real work of the institution and society get the scraps leftover.
Maybe we should change Lovie's job title to "Professor of Future Concussions."
