Appears a rival doesn't have patience for back-to-back losing season. Same can't be said at 11th & Harvard.

The issue isn’t that the post is critical, it’s that the post is ignorant. We’re having challenges because we spent irresponsibility, the solution isn’t to be more financially irresponsible. This is like someone who loads up his credit cards and has collectors calling and “solves” the problem by getting more credit cards. If we had an 8 or 9 figure donor hanging around things would be different. A lot. But we don’t.Careful, Goldie* may not let you stay around these parts. He doesn't like critical comments like that.
Amen. Ignorant may not be the word. Lack of awareness would be the phrase I would use.The issue isn’t that the post is critical, it’s that the post is ignorant.

Oh I know they want us to win. The point is that our coach apparently doesn’t have the individual ability to re-assure us that we will.I don’t disagree with this detailed critique. But understand the people who run the place want us to win more than anyone. I don’t always agree with them and don’t have any allegiance to anyone outside of the Poli Sci department these days. But they want to win. This isn’t the ownership in Major League.
These people deeply care about the school and a number would do better in private enterprise. There are sometimes bigger issues with running a school like TU. Whatever the case, they need our support, not mindless criticism without evidence or reason.

Gotcha. And absolutely agree.Yeah I’m not defending Monty. I was still talking about those who get mad at the powers who be for weird things without reason.
Compounding those problems, there are non-academic, non-athletic programs that are costing a fortune that cannot be cut or dismantled and in some cases are being expanded. There are several highly compensated employees that simply can not justify their salary based on their performance, especially when you look at what they were making in 2008 versus 2018 and what similar personnel are paid elsewhere.

Care to enlighten us?
That’s one of several problems. I won’t “enlighten” in this forum, but I will discuss the issues raised in publicly available documents, some posted over on the General Board and others on the web elsewhere.perhaps Gilcrease?
The Dylan archive, like the Gilcrease management agreement, do actually serve an academic function. Though maybe ill advised in hindsight.Perhaps Bob Dylan’s archive as well.

If memory serves, and I could be wrong, the Dylan archive was actually revenue neutral. The acquisition/donation was made with funds in place for the life of the program.
No, I’m talking about student and faculty services on campus that were greatly expanded over the past ten years in various ways that don’t contribute to the direct academic mission of student instruction and faculty research. And paying several people absurd money as part of that who do not have a corresponding responsibility to generate donations to offset their compensation.
I made some changes to my answer. Re-read above.Got it. I had forgotten about the ‘revenue neutral’ part. Hopefully that is the case. Do the student services you refer to include all the on campus housing and recreation center?
Yes. In the short term, as long as the apt. are filled, they make enough money to off set the real bite on the bonds used to finance them. But the debt is still there. The problem with them will be ten years down the road when they start to look shabby like all 20 year old apartment complexes designed and built like them inevitably do. We will have to demolish and build again. And may still be paying on them at that time.Got it. I had forgotten about the ‘revenue neutral’ part. Hopefully that is the case.

Seems that the way his teams scored, and knowing that WVU was never going to make it to the playoff, he really didn't worry about defense. Think he's the epitome of a riverboat gambler and he was just willing to take his chances with the offense.Doesn't matter now. He can't play defense either
Monty will be top candidate for WVU job.
Attach a couple of handlers to keep his arse out of trouble when he hits the casino floor and your likely on to something that would be a deal sealer.I wonder if part of Holgorsen’s compensation from UH/Fertita is unlimited comp’d rooms/buffets at any of Fertita’s Golden Nuggets?
I don’t know what kinda gambler he is but it can’t be a great one. The man has been thrown out of countless casinos and bars for being drunk and bothering female patrons.Seems that the way his teams scored, and knowing that WVU was never going to make it to the playoff, he really didn't worry about defense.

Thus the need for a couple of handlers to protect Fretita's investment.I don’t know what kinda gambler he is but it can’t be a great one. The man has been thrown out of countless casinos and bars for being drunk and bothering female patrons.
And all of the newer apartments along 11th and back by Kep were all a favor to Mike Case because of his support for the tennis facility and the end zone complex. I know for a fact that the then Director of Housing was not in favor of adding more apartment style housing before adding a needed new residence hall. It was a matter of what students need from a development standpoint versus what they want. Well, everyone knows who won that one which was a shame.Yes.

That’s the registration I’ve heard about. Seems that he and Fertita would be a match made in heaven.I don’t know what kinda gambler he is but it can’t be a great one.

And there are lots of job opportunities with these degrees.Do we have a million dollar diversity promotion and social equity department? I love those.
After salaries, post employment benefits, and programming, I would be surprised if that cost was under a million dollars, if you are counting the Title IX compliance folks.Do we have a million dollar diversity promotion and social equity department? I love those.
Actually there are tons of jobs in diversity and inclusiveness. More than there are qualified candidates by a long way. Diversity is strongly associated with higher productivity and profitability so companies actually see these folks as revenue generators. Especially in tight labor markets where having an advantage to get qualified candidates is the difference between succeeding and not.And there are lots of job opportunities with these degrees.

Not talking bout degrees, talking bout departments in a university, bozo da clown.And there are lots of job opportunities with these degrees.
