MikeM Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Actually, and this probably won’t win the day - but I’ll toss it out there: YEA needs to pull The Cadets and Cadets2 from all competition for the 2018 season. Why? There will only be this distraction for this year. Heck, parents may pull their kids out and leave them barely able to field a corps. Take 2018 to revamp and restructure the organization. Comeback after finals with everything in place to start the 2019 preparations even stronger. Show everyone that hey, yes this happened. But we’ve taken steps to make sure it won’t happen again. You can’t run a tour and try and recover from this. Thoughts? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffe77 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) This is the mistake NCAA makes, scandal breaks out for a University sports program, the kids who had nothing to do with the scandal is punished for it (No Post Season, etc). The Cadets should not be punished for the sins of a tyrant. Cadets have been around a lot longer than Hop's reign. The Cadets as corp (Meaning the current membership) should not go down for this, instead have the strong alumni come together, pick up the pieces, including supporting the victims and move forward by addressing the culture that brought on these issues, and clean house. Bottomline, I'm heartbroken for the victims. So sad for the alum and current members. Hope this will give courage to others and that change will occur.

Kyle B Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Being a little overdramatic with pulling Cadets and C2 off the field? One man does not a corps make, no matter how long someone is there for. Corps was here long before him, and it will be here long after him. If not for any other reason because there is no way the alumni will allow it to die. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeM Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I’m not saying DCI should be doing this. I’m saying YEA should be proactive. Release the kids from their contracts so they can hook up elsewhere while they organization recovers. This shouldn’t be punitive to the corps. I just don’t want to see the kids fail due to this very large distractionl. I think that would be worse than losing a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Haring Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 A sad day. Hoping for the best here for the members of Cadets and Cadets2. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt Cadets would easily concede or go down without a fight for 2018. Members have paid most of their dues and have been rehearsing their show. Spring training is in about one month. There is no reason to give up. Just my opinion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
