Damage Control: Virginia Tech looks to dodge shooting blame

Every one of us hopes that, in a crisis, our university’s security measures will come through and help mitigate the threat posed to students, faculty and staff. That hope was snuffed out for many Virginia Tech students following the infamous 2007 shooting, and the Department of Education is trying to send campus officials a message with a $55,000 fine in return.

alligatorSports Video Show, Episode 10

We celebrate the 10th episode of our weekly video show in style, as Greg Luca reports back from New Orleans with coverage and footage of the Florida basketball team following the Gators' 74-71 overtime loss to Butler in the Elite Eight. UF fell just one game short of a return trip to the Final Four and will lose a talented senior class, which leads Greg to briefly look forward to next year's squad. We also congratulate Greg on an exhaustingly full season of coverage, getting clips from what the Florida basketball players are (not) saying about his work.
