Our Admin and the NCAA

[Hurrikane]

Are you familiar with Tropical Park 5 miles from Campus?

Plenty of room.

Make it happen.

It's also located adjacent to 2 major highways.

Stop the excuse making and start lobbying to better this university.

read again what i said. i specifically mentioned tropical park being the only viable place.

Who is going to pay for it? You? Tax payers? Why would they do that? It would only be used occassionally. FIU has its own stadium. Dolphins wont play there. It would be useless for 1/2 of the year. Waste of space and money.

 

[Scanedalous]

The administration is the real target to blame for all of this. That's a reality that many don't want to face. Shalala and her administration have fostered and promoted an environment at UofM that has led to our athletics department being monetarily starving with no administrative support. All fundraising resources, initiatives and leads for the university have been pulled into other projects and those monies aren't pointed to the AD. In essence they have tied the hands of anyone looking to make an impact within the athletics dept.

The admin built this structure, watched it devolve and has done nothing to change the direction. The end result is what we see now and we will see it play out again and again as long as Miami's leadership continues to give non-support to UM athletics. When you put nothing into a task, you get failure. When you put everything into a task and spare no expense, you get $2,000,000,000 in fundraising efforts, hospitals etc.

Everything at Miami happens by design.

i meant in terms of land. my post before that puts it in better context.

Anyone that says they should fire Shalala does not, or will not, hold a degree from the University of Miami. Regardless of whether or not you think she's been good for our football program, she has done wonders for our academic standing.

they're not allowed to use general university funds for the athletic department. same rule applies to state schools. if they fund raise it has to be specifically for the athletic department which is why hurricane sports properties is its own entity.

Exactly

We're on our second billion dollar fundraiser but we can raise enough for a stadium?

LOL

All we'd need is a 40k-50k stadium but they've led you to believe it's impossible.

1. Until we stop the culture of making excuses for why we can't succeed, we won't. Whether true or not, the bar needs to be set higher. It's hard to imagine any fan thinking that the musical chairs with our ADs has been anything short of a fiasco. It needs to stop, and she needs to find the right guy ASAP. No excuses. We're still an ACC school, have a nice academic reputation, and have a history of enough athletic success that it shouldn't be hard to find someone competent who wants to tackle this challenge.

 

[CaneInsideHer]

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

What problem have you had with Kirby and Shawn? One of the top programs in the country apparently thought Shawn was more than capable of running their athletic department and gave him a mill a year to do so. Is Nebraska's president also overseeing the annihilation of their football program?

Another guy missing the concept.

I don't give a **** about any other program. Stop making excuses for ours. Hire someone who WANTS to be here. People act like Miami is the worst place on Earth. Simply mindblowing.

1) I highly doubt the existence of some conspiracy that the President of our University wants to "annihilate" our football program. Shalala has nothing to gain from a bad football program, and lots to gain from a good football program. Has she made some poor decisions? That is debatable, but it isn't her fault that Nebraska offered her most recent hire a private jet full of money. Seeing her enthusiasm in front of the Bank United Center welcoming every drunk student that got off the bus after a big win is reason enough for me to believe she's doing her best. Let's not forget that she did hire Golden, and they've handled this situation very well. The NCAA has said so itself.

2) I don't think you can impose a postseason ban before you're actually eligible for postseason play. I'm pretty sure this was discussed ad nauseum before the season started.

3) Just a thought, but perhaps because of the severity and national attention of the Penn State scandal, the NCAA had to put us on the back burner.

As I said, everything at UM happens by design. There is a reason why all donors are encouraged and at times coerced into giving to the general fund as opposed to specific athletics projects.

Thank you for illustrating the point. These are key factors that need to be addresses at UofM if ever the cycle of scandal and financial failure or stagnation with the athletics department is to be broken. In basic terms, when you don't put effort as leaders nobody else will either.

This is a cycle that will continue to repeat itself until the model changes. It's beyond wins and losses and coaches and players, but simple minds with convince themselves that it is not. "Just win and the rest takes care of itself"- To that I'd only say that Miami has won more then anyone else in modern football yet still finds itself in weaker position then even other small private schools looking to compete in college football. How does that occur? How does that add up? Great questions with simple answers. Administrative failure, either by design or by lack of know-how. My guess is that anyone who can raise $2 billion knows plenty about plenty of things. They surely know how to fix a simple problem given the model has already been laid out by other institutions of similar level and makeup.

No kidding it's Don.

He's the biggest homer tool of them all, but lord knows you support that clown as well.

Again stop making excuses. You're telling me they couldn't raise funds for the athletic program if it was made MORE of a priority (again not saying more important than academic's for the slow people out there)????

Come on mang, stop just stop.

The HMTIC doesn't give a **** what happens with the football team.

She has everything to lose by allowing UofM athletics to fundraise with grand pre-approved projects as part of their marketing campaign. There is only so much financial donor resource to dip into. Athletics and football stand in the way to take hundreds of millions of donor dollars from the general fund which Donna and her leaders use to fund their projects, hospitals etc.

The administrative arm at Miami knows very well that if they launched a large scale campaign to raise funds for a privately owned self sufficient alumni stadium for its begrudgingly loved football program they would accomplish their fund raising goals in no-time. They are aware of that. It's the very reason why you will never hear a UofM employee speak publicly about the issue with defined terms. Not a coach, not a BOT member, not an athletics director or any other higher level administrator.

athletics has been trying to raise money for a long time. the difference is, significant amounts of those billion dollar fundraisers are from academically-based organizations and donors. if someone gives and wants to give for athletics, they have to say it's for athletics or the university has to let them know that it's for athletics. the current campaign has an earmark for athletics and the schwartz brothers gave $5 million for the athletes' academic center.

hired larranaga, locked up golden until 2020, navigated us as far as we've gotten with the investigation while not having any leaks in over a year. pretty impressive.
