Sounds like she made an impression.

I like it. Looks like we are making the expectations clear to our team. There are some things that should be able to go without saying, but past headlines have proven that they need to be said.

""I'm not here because you are the problem. I'm here because you are the solution."
That is a pretty awesome and powerful quote.
Re: Set the expectation - fullmetal - 04-21-2017
What a great way to frame the issue and the context of her speech!
Re: Set the expectation - 2006alum - 04-21-2017
This is exactly what needs to happen. Great to see her meeting with teams, great to see coaches ensuring it happens, great to see players listening and (hopefully) getting the message.
Re: Set the expectation - Griffins78 - 04-21-2017
I agree. I'm so glad David Shaw invited her to speak and the team responded in such a positive way. Alternatively, this is the response when she spoke to the Baylor football team last Fall:

Here's the SJMN article

Quote:Tracy also serves on the NCAAs Commission to Combat Campus Sexual Violence, which was formed last year and counts among its 26 members one football coach: Shaw, who was floored to be included.

I could not be more proud of the team or its coach.

It also seems like Mike Riley may be stepping up a bit 20 years later by inviting her to Nebraska.Â
Re: Set the expectation - Leftcoast - 04-22-2017
Riley has apologized and first invited Tracey to speak to his team two years ago. I think that discussion and it's impact on the Nebraska team led to her role with the NCAA.
