That note looks like the kind of review you might get after doing a presentation at a Toastmasters meeting. I think that group (Toastmasters) is excellent. In my town there’s something like 50+ groups that meet weekly. It’s a great value… I imagine some groups are better than others.

Actually, I spoke about the Carnegie report that found 29 out of 100 colleges and universities complied with non-subsidized football players. It railed against the plethora of colleges using high schools as farms for good players, giving the players free games, free concessions, free equipment, and paying them money to come to their schools, and good summer jobs that were physical in nature. Businessmen & familiy members were donating $50k a year to some schools. Pretty funny that was going on way back then.
