Seems to me that if Longwood just showed up and played the game, there wouldn't be any media pressure on Southern to change, and things would just go on the way they are.
Instead Longwood makes a statement even though it costs their kids the game (I bet a lot of money they're not title contenders, or they probably wouldn't forfeit) and hopefully there WILL be pressure and maybe things would change.
I just can't believe this is ILLINOIS. Mississippi, maybe. Alabama, sure. But Illinois? I know they've got some southern in them down in the bottom half of the state, but jeez!!!
