President Shalala

[weownfsu]

If she is around this weekend, she may be our most important recruiter. Every year parents and recruits rave about the opportunity to actually meet the president of the university. This year it seems as if most parents favor us, but that experience can make parents who are on the fence fall in love with UM (I'm looking at you momma Bryant).

I dropped my kid off last year at the U and met her at the parents brunch and she did a great job working the room. I know this board seems to hate her but I thought she seemed like a real asset to the school and believe that she is a huge factor in working with the NCAA. She IS connected.

I seem to recall one of the Raising Canes videos talking about her role in the process. I think she gets it.

BTW, the recent fundraising campaign already topped $1BB, so she is a machine on that end as well.

Tracy Howards mom was open about wanting her son to go to uf...until she had a one on one meeting with Donna Shalala during Tracy's OV. You could tell by his mom's facebook posts that she was overwhelmed by the meeting. I dont think its a stretch to say that Donna had a hand in coach Golden landing Tracy Howard. FWIW

Great points. I definitely think Shalala really puts parents over the top with Miami. Hope she is around.

I don't mind her as prez, but I don't know how someone comes away impressed with her after having to look at her face for an extended period of time.

She's the reason we skate after receiving our NOA , NCAA might think they are big **** but they ain't never ****ed with a president like Shalala she's got more pull with politicians and high powered attorneys personally by herself then the entire NCAA does

The idiot meter is running at high. Dang our fan base is the most idiotic at times...I can only hope this poster is under the age 15.

Indeed. The Shalala thing + private school atmosphere and our academics always impresses the parents.

Way to ruin a good thread with some truly idiotic "insight". Try to follow the conversation and not ruin the conversation!

 

[cane305]

all the hate toward her is because of the stadium issue, which wasn't really her fault

I very rarely give out negs, but this dumbass post just earned one

If I am being idiotic for calling her ugly, which she is, you should probably recheck your usage of the word idiotic.

I even said I am fine with her as president.

 

[WhatTheHell]

Donna Shalala is a ******* closer.

The power of charity.

Shalala is the most reviled individual on Canes message boards. For someone who hates UM athletics as much as the message board clowns claim she does, she sure goes out of her way to help our corches recruit. She's also giving Alshermond everything he needs to succeed.

You can be sure that she'll be there this weekend and that she'll make her presence known and help us immeasurably.

wrong.stadium, plus her neglecting of sports, plus her making it harder to get into UM, plus her all her bad hires (then leaving them around too long)..take away all of that and she is ok
