Our Admin and the NCAA

[dookie blaylock]

That may all be true Dude but at NO POINT IN TIME did I ever question her academically.

You guys and people like you use that to cover up her COMPLETE FAILURE representing the athletic department.

If push came to shove of course academic's come first. The U isn't a pro franchise, but I'll be damned if I don't want my school President representing every facet of the program somewhat equally.

There isn't a SINGLE alumnus or fan who can make an argument she has been successful in her tenure of our football team and athletic department in general.

No vision, no urgency, no care........

The notion she can't raise money for the football team is so laughable I won't even argue it.

first of all, raising money for athletics is not her job. that's the athletic director's job. there are people who work in athletics who are there solely to get donations. if she spent her time raising money for athletics, she would be doing the university a disservice.

and contrary to popular belief, there are a lot of donors to the university academically who don't like the football team or don't care for athletics in general. in the same way, there are donors to athletics that don't care about the university. the difference is, there are a lot more people with money to donate that care about the academic side.

Why are you still posting in this thread?

It's not her job to raise money for the athletic program? Ok fine. It is her job to HIRE SOMEONE who WANTS to be here and represent this university in a manner befitting its legacy of greatness.

She has absolutely FAILED in that regard.

Contrary to your belief there are even more people who aren't total tools and don't hate the football team that was essential for building the current academic institution.

Clearly you're not one of those guys.

3 athletic directors in 2 years: one was paul dee, who retired. one was kirby hocutt, who bailed out because he probably saw the **** storm that was coming. one was shawn eichorst, who got the job offer of a lifetime at nebraska.

no one wants to be the athletic director here because we don't have the money to keep a solid one. why?

1) because our revenues suck because we can't fill the stadium.
2) we don't have a lot of people with money that want to give it to athletics. with the exception of the schwartz brothers donating to build the athlete academic center and the rock, how many big-name boosters do we have?
3) what legacy? we weren't good until the 80s, dropped off the map in the mid 90s, and had 5 years of success in the 2000s. we're a blip on the radar in the grand scheme of things.

find an athletic director who wants to come to a place with a small budget, with no facilities, with a small donor base compared to most major programs, that can't sell out its stadium unless florida state is in town, and that is going to pay him less.

i'm a realist and the reality of the situation, and that has always been the situation, is that we are not a destination job for a top-tier athletic director.

False choice between academics and athletics.

Also, the university dropped in the last rankings I saw.

GTFOH with this Shalala bashing.

She is the President of the academic institution that makes great strides in medical research. It is a school that continues to rise in the rankings.

Her job is not to make the football players happy, sorry.

As a Miami alum, I am glad the school puts its academics ahead of its sports, and it should always be that way.

big part of the drop was because the endowment fell last year. they'll be way up in the next rankings because of the new fundraising campaign.

Still missing the point.

There are PLENTY of individuals out there who would die for this gig. Newsflash athletic directors stick around alot longer than coaches.

Mountain Troll hasn't done her due diligence looking for the RIGHT PERSON for the job.

newsflash: athletic directors are making a lot more money everywhere else. yes, there may be plenty of people who want the job, but who's a good fit for miami? if there are so many out there that would be a great fit, why is it that the only name anyone has ever heard pop up is gino torretta? he's a great guy and 100% cane, but he has no experience in an athletic department so it's kind of hard to justify that kind of hire. everyone harps about how we need a miami guy to run the miami program. who's a "miami guy?" jimmy johnson isn't going to do it. schnellenberger retired for good.

LOL what a cop out.

Good lord, perhaps she should stop getting advice from Barry Alvarez who works for another institution on the other side of the country for starters?

You're a walking washing machine with the way you spin stuff.

I'd need to see some data before I bought off on that. I find it hard to believe. Specifically, the 'everywhere' part.

Also, our facilities are actually competitive compared to the field.

And you can't argue that her term has been a massive failure on-field. That's just reality. Why is somewhat moot.

You're a walking washing machine with the way you spin stuff.

your lack of simple logic is insane to me. here's how this works:

1) we don't have an athletic director and go on a search
2) we get "the guy" for "x" amount of dollars.
3) "the guy" does an awesome job and makes everything great at miami
4) "y university" offers "x + y" amount of dollars because they have money to spend and miami does not match.
5) start over at 1)

i'm not sure where any spin is happening. that's the way it is with our school.

[DapperSlapper]

1. Cannot self-impose until actually bowl eligible. Idiotic to state it earlier as kids would quit (see BC vs. UM 2011). You are uninformed on this point.
2. NCAA circumvented their process with PSU because of the explosive nature of the allegations. NCAA went to PSU and said sign off or else. Accordingly, you should thank your stars we are being run through the regular process as it is a clear signal we are not in PSU's league. Again, you are misinformed.

I feel nothing but absolute disgust for our "admin". If you can even call them that.

Of course we'll self impose after another pathetic home crowd showing at our last home game (I attended it personally.....glad we pushed USF's **** in).

What a total travesty for these football players, coaching, and staff on this current team.

Donna Mountain Troll Shalala has personally overseen the annihilation of this football program since she took over. Based on sheer results both on the field and who she has selected to "lead" (really? LOL!) our athletic department.

Make no mistake our admin could have done this at the beginning of the year or much sooner.


On to the NCAA....

Really guys? Really? PSU's scandel of the millenium got it's punishment SIX MONTHS after it was brought into the sunlight.

SIX MONTHS.....think about that ladies and gentlemen and the amount of sheer disgusting lunacy that took place up there.....




WE'RE GOING ON TWO YEARS NOW..........TWO!

Golden is starting to lose his cool on the subject and you can see it in his verbiage. The guy knows we're getting F*****D from both sides of the ***** right now and one side ain't round.

End Rant

**** you Mountain Troll and NCAA

Point number 1 is wrong. You can self impose at any time before you are mathematically eliminated from what you are banning.

 

[Oh Snap]

The core of this team is YOUNG. Get some perspective on the situation before blasting the admin.

**** you Mountain Troll and NCAA

agree 110% on the ncaa, but you're an idiot when it comes to administration.

yes, you're absolutely right about shalala. donna shalala personally goes out there and gives up game-winning touchdown drives. donna shalala is liable for our inability to pick up third and 1 on the ground. donna shalala is responsible for stupid penalties. yes, blame our lack of performance on the university president.

i haven't seen you make a single point regarding who we'd hire. you can call it spin all you want, but you have no argument so you're clamming up. it's ok though. you can't win them all.

Another gem.

This has nothing to do with the thread what so ever.

 

[Canesfan1899]

1. Golden knows his teams the past two seasons have sucked.....we weren't doing anything these past 2 bowl seasons anyway

2. Golden has been recruiting VERY well and hard ensuring kids that sanctions would hardly affect them......this self impose keeps his promise

3. We were getting at least 2 year bowl ban regardless. Stop thinking we were gonna skate. We werent skating. I think now we will.

4. We were gonna get blown out by FSU anyway....we have ZERO WR's available for that game

5. We finish with a win and a "Could be a very good team next season" taste in everybody's mouths

This, take the bowl ban now instead of going to the music city bowl.

I have no basis or means to know who we would hire.

I never said hire Torreta or someone else who has zero experience did I?

No I didn't, but you wanna sit there looking down your nose because someone questions the Trolls ability to run an entire institution. Don't worry I know psuedo fans when I see them.
