Subject: We all need to believe and stay positive on this. It can happen but we have to make it happen. That includes stepping up financially.

In reply to: An Old Coach 's message, "Scholarships without a gigantic investment in facilities would be a waste of time. Even with scholarships, you are going to have to lower the bar significantly in admissions to get the kids in. No other way to build a consistant winner. It would put us where we are now in a better league. I'm not a non believer. I am highly doubtful of the University's commitment to the program. As you yourself has said, this latest facility upgrade is a bandaid. I will believe it when I see it." on 11:15:30 12/11/04 Sat

The FieldTurf, lights and renovated lockerrooms may be a bandaid, but they're a relatively significant and sorely needed one that will take us through the next 5-10 years while we work on getting better facilities as part of a strategic plan (which I'm sure will include upgraded basketball facilities as well). The fact that Fordham invested in the incremental upgrades at all shows me that they are committed to our success, albeit at a level reasonably commensurate to the stakes involved (non-schollie Patriot League). The real "stepping up" now needs to come from the alumni and students. (NT)DamnRam13:51:49 12/13/04 Mon
    That's absolutely right. But please do us all a favor and drop the "10 years" part. (NT)Rambacker22:36:52 12/13/04 Mon
