Subject: Fr. McShane will have some problems if he doesn't replace Frank and upgrade the position to VP. There are many, many influential alums and students that are ready to step up and take action in a number of ways if there is not a change. This story is far from over.
In reply to: Old Prof 's message, "Frank is EXACTLY the kind of AD that his bosses want. He's happy to report to Jeff Gray and let the latter play coach. Frank's other boss, Fr. McShane, doesn't care much about sports and is relieved to have an AD who doesn't rock the boat. By sticking with Frank, the administration sends the message that no real upgrading is in the cards. The basketball team will keep playing in an antiquated facility, and will have to hope that DW doesn't get frustrated and move on. As for football, forget going to D-1A or a better conference, allowing scholarships, or really improving the facilities. You don't need an expanded stadium when you're just going to be playing teams like Albany State and Marist. An old friend of mine who teaches at Scranton told me not to expect anything from Fr. McShane when it comes to athletics. I guess he was right. Frankly, there is a culture of mediocrity that has affected Fordham athletics for a half-century. It hasn't changed. I'm afraid it never will." on Wed April 13, 2005 17:19:23
