In reply to: Ram'69 's message, "....And yet what do we do at Fordham? We have our basketball team play in a gym beneath the standards of many high schools, the oldest one in use in Division 1. We wink at atrocious performance in the Athletic Department that would never be tolerated in any academic department. We schedule upcoming football games against teams like Marist College and Albany State, and ignore opportunities to upgrade our schedule, facilities, and league affiliation. It would appear that "small dreams" are seen as "worthy" ones when it comes to athletics. It is time for Fordham to rethink its whole approach to athletics, provide new resources, and formulate strategies that will enable the Athletic Department to be a full partner in the University's drive to become a true national university." on Thu April 14, 2005 22:57:38

  • Right on target, Ram '69. I got that same letter in yesterday's mail along with a solicitation from the Maroon Club, signed by coaches Whittenburg, Foley, Dewey, and Orchard. I wonder if, taken together, the message of these two letters is that athletics are not a valued part of "the new Fordham," and those of us who do value athletics will have to pick up the full tab. I'd hate to think the administration is that short-sighted, but who knows? (NT) -- Tin Cup, Fri April 15, 2005 09:33:54
