100% agree DP.
Thankless job and some of these chat comments show why few would even desire this gig given so many LB "supporters" expect the problems to be solved by someone else, for free and without anything required of themselves.
At the big schools supporters line up to contribute and help. Not here.
I suee hope someone named Messiah is among next week's candidates. 🙄 Previous Message
You have NO IDEA how much effort Ted has put into this assignment. He deserves every penny that he gets added to his pension in my opinion!!! Previous Message
Cost savings at the detriment of overall athletic department standing….
Meanwhile, don’t be surprised when Mr Interim AD gets over $3k more a month in pension after this. Crooks. Previous Message
Nice article! There will be pressure on new Ad to get the deficit in order. Must also hire the right people. GOOD LUCK!! Previous Message
Thoughts:
* bummer about Alexis. Wonder where she went in AZ?
* I bet the freeze on her hiring, and the freeze in hiring a new AD was cost saving…..not paying either salary as a means of part of the deficit address. This follows the same approach when Vic left and the AD hiring was delayed. Utilizing Cindy as the interim AD. Same tactic taken this time with Ted.
* think Ted has done an admirable job given what he stepped into, having to deal with two unexpected hiring, and most importantly securing the student initiative.
*. Reporting structure to VP of Finance (Ops) might have to do with Jane not wanting to deal with an athletic dept. deficit? Or maybe she is looking at retirement and sees the reporting structure lending to continuity? Previous Message
Quote from article, "According to the job listing for the athletic director position, the new athletic director will report to the university’s treasurer/CFO, and not the university president. This is unusual in college sports and a first at LBSU." Isn't this called passing the buck to a subordinate? Previous Message
I think I got it correct now
