Subject: Football problems

The Courant reports an internal investigation into the football program. I've heard nothing but great things about Schudel. Furthermore, numerous newspapaer reports that the Athletic Department is in the dark and very upset about Judd's decision.

Insider - any comments? CCSU has never had a strong football program (Div. II Southern has a much better history), but it seemed to be improving under Schudel. Pres. Judd is a nice guy, but does he understand that I-AA non-scholly football is not competitative to begin with. Are his expectations unrealistic? The NBHS coach sounds like an ass and I'm not sure he has any NCAA coaching experience. I-AA football has an uncertain future and CCSU isn't in a great position to make any changes.

Today's Courant has reported that C.J. and an Assistant AD have filed a greivence against the Univ. After our most sucessfull sports season in CCSU history this does not make me feel comfortable. The Athletic Department, in my opinion, has done a great job especially considering their financial constraints. I sure support the AD and Coach Schudel. I just hope that this can be resolved without any widespread damage to other teams.

Also, why no coverage in the Herald (or is it just not online)? Their CCSU beat reporter usually does a good job covering the scoop. I'd like to get this message board out to more fotball fans so we can get a dialog going.

read Jeff Jacobs article in today's Courant, this is only going to get uglier. Things are not right and these are the first steps to making them right. The Herald is at a disadvantage because of the size of their staff and their editor has been out since the birth of his newborn...

I just read Jacobs article. He hits the nail on the head. Even if CCSU football is to go 10-0 and win the NEC, no big deal. It provides no national exposure and no real regional interest. Look at UMass and their issues surrounding 1-A football. We get killed by them (partly because they have schollys) and yet they know that winning a true 1-aa championship (which they did in 1988) means nothing.

This just seems like a bad idea to start a riff in the department. I truly hope Judd and CJ can settle this soon. They are both alums and it looks bad for the university.

As an outsider looking in it looks like Judd and his cronies are running over the AD and the Athletics Dept. I've met with Coach Shudel on 4 occasions in the last year. The guy came off as a professional who loved to coach his team. If, as the rumor goes, he saved meal money I'd be amazed if he pocketed it for himself. He had yet to field his own recruited seniors. Sure, his record at Central stunk but I heard 1/2 the upper classmen quit when he was hired in the first place. I would love to hear the true reason for the firing up there in CT when it comes out.
