“No one from (Colorado State) was negative in this whole thing,” Kohan added. “Nobody came and blamed anyone else, and nobody tried to point fingers. We’ve tried to make this really difficult situation as neutral or as controlled on our side as possible. It’s been a dynamic that we’ve handled really well… and not be nasty humans in the process.”
For Fleming, the convention finals shall be the general fit of the participant’s profession.
