Popular Post BobSaccamanno Posted April 27, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) He deserves any and all criticism. I have academicians in my family so I say this respectfully. I think he was a university President. The problem is these guys don’t function in the real world. It’s the definition of an ivory tower. So they have no clue how to run an enterprise like the NCAA. And I don’t know who is on the board, but it’s probably much of the same. When you don’t function in the real world, you’re ill-equipped to anticipate issues or properly administer consistent policies and so on. They can’t anticipate a business guy like Ruiz using the system for promotion. Having said that, they will probably bring in another university President. Maybe the new person will have a better idea of what he or she is doing. They need to basically nuke how they do things, restructure, start from scratch etc. I think IU took a bigger penalty for bumper stickers than UNC did for systematic academic fraud for decades. You can’t make this stuff up. Edited April 27, 2022 by BobSaccamanno 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it was, "He's such a buffoon." He won't be missed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, don't forget the 'high-priced' part. He won't shield anything for under 3 million dollars a year. Or that should be a buyer beware.

No different than Goodell for the NFL owners. The Commissioner takes all the incoming hate so everyone else can quietly profit in the background. They're paid well for their troubles. Rinse, repeat. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think every team should make the tourney. Its only like 7 games played by each time. No seeding. Random drawing for your region. Then play as normal. Lets crown a true champion. No easy walks to the final 4. Fight your way through whatever teams you get lucky or unlucky enough to draw. Shorten seasons by 4 games, no need for conference tourney and let the tournament begin!!!!!
