Subject: My comments were not made out of context. Every university in the country has financial restraints. We have a larger endowment than many schools that have long ago made a commitment to athletic facilties. It's a matter of priorities. Stop making excuses for poor decision making at Fordham. We need to move on a capital plan for athletics, and in the very near future. The natives(alums) are getting very restless and this will hit Fordham in the pocketbook sooner than later.

In reply to: FC 's message, "Rambacker, FU has certain financial constraints. We would all love to see a 20M seat stadium, parking for 6M cars and a convocation center tomorrow, but that is not going to happen, not at this time. In my comments I specifically stated, "more or less". You chose to take the statement out of context. For now, and perhaps the next several years, the upgrades are what we have. I believe that if FU maximizes what they are doing right now, we would have a pretty good facilities situation. I was not laying out a master plan, but rather commenting on the present and near future." on 10:51:34 12/10/04 Fri

This is where I disagree with you. It can't see it ever hitting us in the pocketbook because the University has never been committed to athletics in a real way. I wish it were different but there has never been any attempt to produce data that shows our alums care all that much. I would guess that less than 5 percent of the endowment is dedicated to athletics. We know that few facilites were paid for with external funds. The pocketbook has always been empty. I think the administration is comfortable with that. (NT)An Old Coach08:01:33 12/11/04 Sat
