I'd hope all of us would contact the Pres. & the BOT Chairman (Mr. John N. Tognino) directly to express our opinions. Those with experience in sports management , marketing, public relations etc. should make as many specific recommendations as possible--spelling out possible costs & benefits. Secondly, we could ask for some sort of forum/open meeting where the topic will be: "The Future of Fordham Athletics." Preferably such an event would take place at McGinley, on an evening while school is in session so that both students & alums can attend--and before the Strategic Planning Committee has finalized its work. The administration might be reluctant to sponsoring something like this, so perhaps sponsorship could be done by an alumni group or by one or more of the existing supporter clubs. I hope other people on this board (inc. Rambacker, DamnRam and others who have more "real world" experience than the Old Prof) would chip in with their ideas on how to get such a dialogue going. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: Rambacker 's message, "These are words of reason. How do you suggest that alums and students get started with that dialogue?" on Mon April 18, 2005 12:56:39
