Lol see what you did there. Conveniently leaving out the whole OB debacle.

Politics and all the other BS aside, if you think she was good for U Football that’s on you.

Because her tenure marks the beginning of an entire generation of not being Ship competitive, when being competitive required a show of willingness = significant $$$ by the Admin just as the usual suspects were ramping up their own willingness if you will.

That she and BoD decided not to follow suit is on them (Fuuckin took till CMR got here to build IPF and he even had to throw in $1M is just a simple example of the lack of willingness). That they tried to get by on the low with Football, while raising the Donna endowment fund is facts.

Who doesn’t want us to be an educational powerhouse?

But also being a P2 type sports institution is not mutually exclusive. Look up Michigan, ND, SC, and it hurts to say these next 3 even Tx, taint, and uga showing both can be accomplished.

I am of the very basic premise, that what is good for U Football will translate to increased PR/ interest/ admissions/revenue and ability to grow the U all around.

The leveraging of UHealth is a godsend, for real‼

Now it’s time we leverage the immense power of our local SoFlo market behind the U. I’m talking about the millions of fans who may never have attended but have been backing U Swag since Howard’s pipe got lit 🔥

Because it’s time to have Football maximize its ROI contribution so we can be P2 when the opportunity comes knocking. And if the thinking is, say 4 years, then bet your bottom dollar they already cooking the pie as we speak. Truthfully, by a lot of metrics we may be considered an outlier.

SO LIKE ALWAYS we got to show them WE THE U‼. Same old story, just a different decade Century is all.

Go Canes‼

Edit: late night rant waiting on good news🙏

She was an administrator, not a business person. She could have used the same ambition and support to compete in athletics currently leading the BOT and Joe Echevarria at []__[]Health fixing the finances to do the same thing we're doing now.

If she isn't willing to listen to the players/students and goes with her gut to put in Alvarez maybe we win # 5 & 6; who knows? I think she's a convenient target for obvious reasons and the narrative has taken root, but neither her passion nor support for athletics is appreciated.

If any BOT members wanted the OB to be saved badly enough I can't imagine it wouldn't have been. Donna (and every President) served at the BOT's behest and, at that time, athletics wasn't of primary importance to the leadership.

It has taken new leadership and alignment at all levels, from the field to the Hecht, in the Ashe Building and--most importantly--changes on the Trustee Board to turn this thing around. So it's a little...unreasonable, to say one person purposely destroyed the program.

As we should be. Kid probably came here, got our best number and will give LSU a chance to match. If they don't he'll come here. If they do, he goes there.

There’s no matching since Louisiana has state income taxes (although it’s not much).

I should address this because I brought it up.
Early this morning, on the ITU board, Gaby posted this:

This afternoon, he said he's concerned about LSU.

Yes, I have boomer-level tech abilities, and I can't embed the screen shot.
