There's a cancer that just left the state of W.V. That cancer was Ollie Luck.
A self serving attorney that dismantled the WVU program, cost the state 1000s of jobs and set himself up as the Czar of the entire state.
He leaves WVU much like every other endeavor he took over. In debt, in managerial shambles, with two drunks for his two biggest sports. Rather than
Being a visionary and promoting an in state game between Marshall and WVU, Luck took it upon himself to try and stop any competition between the two instate schools. He cost 100s of jobs by doing so and the state easily lost a million in IN STATE taxable revenue by his self serving actions. But that wasn't enough for Luck, as he also began a campaign of smear tactics against Marshall to belittle our program.
As time went by his miracle hire Dana Holdmyself began to sour on the fan base. On Oct 12th in west Texas Tommy Tuberville exposed Dana's brilliant offense by simply telling his backers to "stay home". Since that fateful day almost 3 years ago, the Eerbilly program became the new homecoming queen school for the Big 12.
Meanwhile in Huntington around the exact same time, a Doc Holliday squad was beginning to make some noise. 3 years later, we have 3 bowl WINS and a new state of the art IAF even WVU is trying to figure out how can we do that and get the state to pay it and claim were still self supporting. With each Marshall success the negative rhetoric spewing from Lucks jaws increased. He knew the writing on the wall was now started and he had to exit ASAP. He went to Texas where they gave him a once over, recalled him bankrupting the Houston team he ran and said thanks but no thanks.
The worst part in all this was not only the economic loss Luck created, it was the rift he created that the eerbilly base quickly mimicked, and the eerbilly nation having no idea he was using wvu as another stepping stone and getting out while the getting was good. Meanwhile Holgersons teams floundered and his OC also seeing the writing on the wall also used WVU as a stepping stone to go to a low level SEC football school.
But here's the real WORST part about Lucks rapid unannounced move to the NCAA. It's attorneys do one thing very well. They help OTHER attorneys make money while also serving themselves too by getting in between two parties. The two parties now? It's me and you college football fan.
Look for Luck to begin the process of pushing player payments ASAP. What does that do you ask? Well it will begin the bidding war, a war where the monies will grow larger and larger. What next? Then comes college football ATTORNEY agents. Yes this will lead to a second PRO league with attorney agents making millions off the machine Luck will try to install. In the end those actions will leave college football exactly where WVU is now. Ruined, broke, and destroyed. Like every other endeavor Luck has joined, it ends in disaster...and this my friends is the real reason why we at Marshall should mourn Lucks leaving a shambled WVU, he will do the same to college football and ruin the game so many of us love.
