Excelsior athletics team- Interested?

[Runner4064]

Greetings fellow students, So I was thinking... Just because Excelsior is a distance univ. doesn't mean that we should be denied other opportunities that are indicative to the whole college experience. I'm going to write a letter to EC petitioning for them to incorporate athletic opportunities to interested students. This is how it will work. There are many athletes engaged in individual sports such as running, racewalking, boxing, martial arts, power-lifting, archery, etc, etc. Why not let students participate in individual sports as a recognized "student athlete?" Obviously it would not be NCAA sanctioned and their would be no direct organized competition against other schools. In essence it would typify the Excelsior students for what they are- hard charging innovators who don't let obstacles get in their way. Students can compete in their respective sports while wearing excelsior colors. "Shoto Juku came up will an awesome mascot "The Globes." It will enhance the college experience (beyond 3 day kegers)...Wow I sure do miss those 7 years of junior college hilarious.
But seriously... It would be great advertising as well as a good recruitment tool. For those of us who never give up, it will allow us a more complete college experience- if we so choose. I would like to use your feedback to send with a letter to hopefully get this ball rolling.
Go Globe athletics!
