Subject: Right on the money, RamBam67. Frank is exactly what Fordham has wanted in an AD. That's why I object to the personal attacks on him. He has been the employee that the admininstration has wanted. There is no mystery at all about it.
In reply to: RamBam67 's message, "Athletic excellence is not a priority at FU. As long as the overall program is scandal free and the student athletes graduate at a good rate, the academic mission is successful. Athletic excellence is not demanded or I suspect even expected. Therefore given these parameters,the AD is viewed as successful. I don't know if Fr. McShane shares this view of athletics(we will soon find out) but until athletics are included as an integral part of the Univ. overall mission and excellence is demanded, nothing will change. Good coaches will occasionally arrive, succeed and then move on to more high profile programs. If not for the Herculean efforts of some devoted alums, imagine how bad it would really be. It has been this way for the 40 years I have observed the program." on Mon March 14, 2005 11:37:10

  • Frank has done a horrendous job. If Fordham were shorting the athletic budgets I might agree but the budgets are very competetive. Frank's attitude turns off most decent human beings. You want a fall guy in that job then you could have one that is nice to the alums and treats people with respect. That is not the case here. Frank should be kicked out onto Southern Boulevard for his demeanor alone, notwithsstanding his performance issues. (NT) -- ant hill, Mon March 14, 2005 18:13:28
