NU is mismanaged and has no one to blame but inept administration under the Vincentians since Fr. Golden who was run out. The Trustees are a rubber stamp and should be retired as well.
It has been and will continue to be one excuse after another under the Vincentian regime who are determined to hold on to power.. Other schools that once existed in the shadows of NU have now passed Her by and are not looking back. The idea that mediocrity is somehow acceptable is and should be an anathema to an educational institution. It is time for NU to shed its Vincentia leadership(?). They are clueless.
Location isn’t the issue and it isn’t the alumni who are completely ignored by the athletic administration and constantly denied insight into the hoops program development. Hoops is and will remain primary asset in developing alumni support. If the hoops program ignores their interests who can fault them for looking elsewhere and support other entitites?

What interests of the alumni are you refering to?
The Vincentian part was pretty spot on. Poor managers. But hey, they will be the first to tell you that they are supposed to be missionaries first. That's the part they can't get over. They don't see the possibilities of duality.
To be frank, the NU Alumni Association could actually be a very powerful arm of the school except for the fact that few give that much of a shit about their alma mater enough to spend their precious time involved with it. They will from time to time however write their complaints out on a sports board because it's easy, annonymous and doesn't cost a dime.
A completed puzzle has a lot of pieces, but if they don't come together you never finish the puzzle.
The alumni could be steering the ship instead of expecting the basketball team to do it for them, and that assumes that they give a shit enough to reciprocate big time in the financial department should things go their way.
This is not a gripe of your post by any means. It is right on for the most part. I'm just saying that you (assuming you are a NU grad) ARE the NU Alumni Association and your absence means that others run the show.
It could easily go the other way. Just have to gather the pieces like in a puzzle.
There are many other "interests" than basketball for NU donors...like Castellani, Dwyer, et all.
