VA Tech is considering a suggestion that the No. 32 be retired on all of the school’s teams to honor those killed in last month's tragic shooting. officials are also considering making 32 a special number that would only be given out to certain athletes considered worthy of the honor.
although i do agree with one student who stated he thinks the number should be retired due to athletic reasons, i don't see how this is harmful and would, i guess, be a nice tribute.
i do not, however, think the second suggestion is a good idea. giving the number out to recognize special athletes can only cause trouble down the road. who is special enough?
a sidenote: 10% of people in the pilotonline poll asking whether they supported retiring the number voted: It should be 33.
