Reinstate Coach Brian White

In December 2022, Brian White (aka B White) was terminated from his assistant coaching responsibilities in the Aquinas Boys Soccer Program.

Why we are concerned.
During his tenure at Aquinas, B White's leadership advanced the Student Life experience for students on the soccer pitch, basketball court, and in the classroom.

Top 10 Reasons to #Reinstate B

9.  Understands the culture necessary to create & sustain a Kansas Boys Soccer dynasty and prioritizes community relations with Aquinas soccer alumni

Without B White a part of the Aquinas boys' soccer program, there is an void that can not be filled regardless of his replacement.

The dynamic of the program will forever be changed. It will take several years to rebuild.
