Bevo – I understand where you’re coming from although Madoff’s actions of cheating/lying actually impacted people’s lives to their detriment. I’m not sure the same can be said for Valvano’s coaching life (the cheating/lying I think you’re referring to). But I’m also not going to gloss over that part of it — he got away with quite a bit of nasty stuff in Raleigh (nasty from an amateur sports perspective). Still, the work that he did upon getting cancer to set up the V Foundation and the subsequent good that it’s done far, far outweigh any dirty business he pulled at NC State. Just my opinion.

He would like to know if he has to do the whole die from cancer thing, or like another celebrated cheat and liar, can he simply overcome cancer?
