Students shouldn't sacrifice grades for Facebook

Students shouldn’t sacrifice grades for Facebook

Published Sep 13, 2010

While most Horned Frog fans are probably complaining about Boise State University getting a little, um, "help", from the refs against tenth-ranked Virginia Tech University on Monday, few are really realizing how this Boise State win is awesome for TCU down the road.
