This is silly

Travis Mason-Bushman has done more to promote Idaho athletics -- especially men's basketball -- with his Vandal Nation site than anyone else who has come to our attention.

So it was disheartening to read that the idaho athletic administration chose to not be forthcoming when Bushman inquired about the scholarship status of Marcus Lawrence. Read about that here.

It's not like our national defense is at stake.

Now granted, this is a 'nothing' in the big picture of life and of sports but let's hope such silliness is reconsidered in Moscow and a more even-handed relationship can be developed.
