Too be honest, it is a little fuzzy. But the big picture was just so cute and the image I wanted I couldn't find.

OT - Here's a link I find on usatoday's website in which ASU officials state that the picture had nothing to do with the combining of the cheer and dance groups. http://blogs.usatoday.com/gameon/2008/05/asu-denies-chee.html

I wonder if this is the classic case of backpeddaling or if one truly had nothing to do with the other. I'll probably never know.

The head cheer coach was fired a few days after the photos surfaced then on Wednesday Lisa Love made the announcement. I doubt this was a coincidence, regardless of what Steve Hank says.

There will be game day performers, the Spirit Squad (all female) & Yell Leaders (all male) but no stunting and no place for actual cheerleaders. Just dancers and men who want to hold signs and megaphones. That is not a cheer squad. So Steve Hank is incorrect, they absolutely are eliminating the cheer squad.
