Statement from Player Management International Regarding Tragedy at Virginia Tech University

April 18, 2007

Player Management International would like to extend our deepest condolences to everyone affected by the unfortunate series of events at Virginia Tech University on April 16th. The Virginia Tech family will remain in our thoughts and prayers and it is our sincere hope that healing and recovery will begin quickly and make Virginia Tech University an even stronger family and institution.

Sports is our business, but right now we turn our attention, thoughts and prayers to those families who have lost loved ones in this senseless tragedy.

It is tough sometimes to make sense out of things that are senseless, so the most appropriate thing at this point is to keep everyone in your prayers and never lose sight of what is important in life. Most of us will complain about wanting a new car or getting a bad seat on a flight. Right now, people are dealing with the loss of their children, sisters, brothers or parents. Please keep them close to you in all you do and pray that the pain they are feeling will be kept to a minimum and that their hearts will not hurt too much.

On behalf of my wife, Teresa, and our children, JD, DJ and Lauren, as well as the employees of PMI, I send you our thoughts and never ending prayers, as well as love and hope.

‘Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified or discouraged, for the Lord thy God is with you wherever you go.’ Joshua 1:9

With a Heavy Heart,

Doug Barnette, CEO
