With respect to the Trinity endowment conversation, I'd like to point out that while endowment money may be used for financial aid for students and student-athletes alike, it is also used to grow / update the school facilities, enhance technology systems, and most importantly pay for top level professors. Trinity, as I feel is the case with other SCAC schools, is an elite academic institution and one that has recently undergone construction in many areas around campus to upgrade their facilities as well as bring in new and talented professors. Having been a former SCAC player, I find it hard to believe that schools of the academic caliber of Trinity, Sewanee, Millsaps, etc. consistently offer "need based" money to students solely because they are athletes.

On a different note, Trinity looks to be making progress over the past couple of games!... hopefully this can carry over into SCAC play as they head into Hendrix and Austin College for the weekend. 

In response to the Devins conversation, I agree with carlweathers that Devins certainly possesses skills not typical of your usual 6'10'' D3 center. Devins was an amazing free-throw shooter, had tremendous touch, and had an un-stoppable left hand hook all in addition to his shoot-blocking and rebouding abilities. Even if Devins was only 6'7'' or 6'8,'' those skills would have carried him well and certainly those are skills that are coveted regardless of height or wingspan... and Devins had all of them. Undoubtedly one of the greatest centers in SCAC history.

Glad to see Trinity got back on the winning path this weekend. TU is a team with lots of talent but little experience and once the experience starts to kick in the team should begin to win games consistently, hopefully all in time for the conference tourney.
