Levin T. Black GREAT WHITE HYPE OUR VIEW Levin t. Black is a senior majoring in telecommunications and writes ‘Great White Hype’ for the Daily News. His views do not necessarily agree with those of the newspaper. Homecoming hustle Retiring Love’s number won’t happen soon

From the moment it became known Dante Love would never play football again, a groundswell of support to get his No. 86 retired began to grow. While it’s a great idea and would be neat to see on senior night, it’s not likely to happen. This is not because there is resistance to the idea from anyone in Ball State University’s ath- letics department. Athletics director Tom Collins said last week it is something the university is considering, but there is a specifi c way it has to happen. “I think anything like that we would certainly consider, but we have certain protocols,” Collins said. “There’s a committee set up with the Hall of Fame. The recommendation is sent up [there] and approved.” However, there are If Ball State more things that must be factored decides to into the decision of whether to retire the retire Love’s No. 86.
