I OBJECT to my post (#2 above) being edited to link to collegesportingnews...AND having my other post, which had a biography of London, deleted.

(1) The information I posted was from a press release I received. It was not an article I copied from the internet. Therefore, I am allowed to post the entire release.

(2) If you're going to edit my post, and refer to another site, it should link to the University's website and official release...not to collegesportingnews.com

I have re-edited my legal post above....and added the deleted post, below. (Since it exceeds the 10,000 character limit when combined)
