I emailed The Post to ask why it was even put in print and have yet to receive a reply. If anyone else would like to voice their opinion, I called The Post and talked to a very nice woman in the sports section who gave me the Executive Sports Editor's email address ([email protected]) and here is the email for the Let It Rip letter to the editor ([email protected]).
FIU and FAU too small for big-time football
There is no rhyme or reason for allowing games between major-league schools and minor-league commuter schools that are little more than overgrown community colleges. FIU and FAU are two prime examples of what happens when ambition outgrows reality.
Not only is it outlandish to stage football games between FIU and Miami or FAU and Florida, it's outlandish that schools such as FIU and FAU even HAVE a football program.
Talk about misspent resources that will NEVER produce any return. And if FAU actually gets approval to build a new 40,000 seat stadium, that would be the ultimate waste. Save the big stadium dreams for legitimate big-league NCAA sports schools.
My advice to FIU and FAU: Get out of the football business. You're in way over your heads, and nobody cares about you teams. Stick with what you do best: Providing a convenient source of education for those who don't have the income or grades to get into a major school.

Plus this line is just wrong:
"Stick with what you do best: Providing a convenient source of education for those who don't have the income or grades to get into a major school."
It makes the paper look bad, and lose some credibility if you ask me.

Loser not worth getting angry about…There are trolls everywhere. I would imagine they published it knowing it would get a response so if you plan to respond in kind, stay positive and don't resort to a pissing contest with the dumbass.

I had opportunities to attend the most-recognized institutions (on full scholarship), and chose FAU because it was the best fit for my research goals. Only a fool would choose a school based on the quality of their sports teams.
Mr. Kelly should visit my lab (or any of the many others) and read our publications before he writes about something he has no knowledge about.
