Leach spreading garbage

Wed., June 27, 2018

Regarding “Leach removes doctored conspiracy film…” (June 19, 2018):

As a graduate of WSU I get regular calls for donations to the school. I used to donate. Over the past few years, with the exorbitant overspending by the WSU athletic department, I have asked to see some restraint in that arena before I would donate to the school. Recently WSU seems to have acknowledged the massive overspending, and has formulated a plan for recovery from that bad habit.

Now it appears that a large piece of that overspending, Mike Leach, is using his WSU-created notoriety to spread garbage. It may be his right to express his thoughts, but it does not encourage me to donate to WSU.
