Subject: I'd say DamnRam has it about right. I think it crucial to understand that there is a systemic ambivalence toward athletics at Fordham that has existed since 1954-the year big-time football was dropped. Frank is only the most recent episode in that long-running story. And note Fr. McShane's theme of "best Catholic college." It's all about wanting to be the Catholic Harvard--a silly goal.
In reply to: DamnRam 's message, "After you've been in a job long enough you become an institutional fixture. Through sheer longetivity you build up enough friends and visibility that short of an outright scandal you are able to weather any political storm. Also, if the Administration needs someone to take the fall for their own ambivalence about athletics funding, you get a mutually beneficial co-dependent relationship. The Administration gives Frank job security and let's him get away with chronicly uninspired management of the AD, Frank keeps the AD clean (no St. John's or Syracuse type scandals) and takes the political hits for the Administration on all matters pertaining to athletics." on Mon March 14, 2005 10:52:54
