Also. they didn't give his full name at first. They just called him 'wilkes'. As I read I was thinking, well what's the kids first name??? I had to read the coaches statement to see that he is Peter Wilkes..Come on editors, do your jobs...

What was the nature of the accident, and can you clarify the statement that the University retracted its Oct. 9 statement?

I'm disturbed that a young man died and because he was apparently almost good enough to play football on the college team, he is identified only as a "football player". An entire life has been lost, and the most important thing the media can report is something that to me seems so trivial that it hardly merits mention. There was a lot more lost than a "football player".
