I hate to say that things are a bit out of control, but things are out of control!

 We reap what we sow........Its gonna be VERY hard for me to support, financially,  anything the NCAA does.

I know that I will get some heat from a couple of posters here but I just don’t see how uno can compete in this landscape. Especially with the recent hires that were made in the athletic department. All old re treads, many of which were fired from there previous jobs. I just don’t see a way that we can compete in this new landscape with the current leadership.

In fact the university as a whole has made some questionable hires in the leadership roles that leave me scratching my head. How can an organization hire people who were let go from previous positions for terrible behavior and just expect good results. It’s a dumpster fire if you ask me.

I am not sure who you are referring to?    I know Gio and he is a class act.    Maybe not all the sparkle and smooth talk but he is an effective leader. 

As far was Andrew, I don't know him, but I have heard nothing but good things about him.

If there are other hires they have not been announced but we need a strong athletic administration with people who have been in the trenches to get this department back in shape.    With the changing landscape I would think we needed someone who has been somewhat battle tested in college sport administration.  Gio has a very small budget at Loyola yet they seemed to do well while he was there.        

The real key is who is going to be leading the University after the search.     If we have a dynamic leader who supports athletics, not just in passing but honestly works with the department to help it raise both the funds and profile I think there is a good chance we will actually be better than we have been in a few years.  

A lot of moving parts but I think we are going to be better than we have been for quite some time.   

Again, I am a glass half full guy.    Might be too much wine in the glass but that is my perspective.
