My opinion:
As an educated in Maine for 30 years, I just don't understand the MPA's thinking with this case. Why wait until next year to change all sports to "cooperative teams". Aren't they in this for the student athletes? Why not let this tennis player play on a team to experience the "team experience"? I just don't get it. Rick Coyne, Wells
