Word On The Street

The word on the street is that Cobra security has been releived of their duties at athletic events on campus. A company from the midwest that handles security at the forum in Memphis is rumored to be taking over. While I understand there is a need for security at games,Cobra took it to far. When the company started they had no experience in game day/athletic sporting event security management. It appears we have stepped it up and contracted a legit company. While it will probably be the same red necks employed, hopefully the powers that be will educate this security staff better than Cobra did. It seemed like Cobra was always out to be seen, for example fifteen guards coming onto the court blocking the views of others at a basketball game when their are a hundred people in the stands. We needed a change to someone who specializes in this field and we made the change. Will it work out? We will know in three weeks.
