I recall talking with his parents in the stands during a game in September 1999 and both said they were "thrilled that their son was able to come to a great school like Fordham and it was only costing them about $5,000 because of the football aid." Something must have happened after that! -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

A lady from the financial aid office would not return his parents call -- too busy, as I was told --during the summer when they were trying to find out how much aid he would be eligible for his second year. As it turns out, he was given more than the year before, but the information came too late. I heard it from Coach Clawson. BTW, the same lady was an albatross for Nick Quartaro. (NT) heard it from both coaches 14:30:49 01/03/05 Mon

That is the accurate truth. The financial aid office here is THE WORST and was a major reason for Clawson wanting to leave Fordham for a perceived "lateral" move to Richmond. He didn't want to have to deal with financial aid, and Fordham's financial aid office in particular. (NT) -- Guy, 21:30:15 01/03/05 Mon

The financial aid department did get a little better as I was leaving in 2003-2004, but some of the blame must also be put on the players because we continually turned in the papers they needed late. (NT) -- Prince, 16:14:04 01/11/05 Tue

A true irony is that "the lady's" son played under Quartaro. She's not AFF, just incompetent (NT) -- fu-worker, 22:25:22 01/04/05 Tue

And her name would be? (NT) -- Rambacker, 22:34:51 01/04/05 Tue
That is what I heard originally also; pray tell she's not still there. (NT) -- rambo, 09:32:32 01/05/05 Wed
