I have sympathy for your plight but as an outsider there is a lot wrong with your whole athletic program and like us at Lafayette believe it starts with the guy at the top. Thankfully our guy is leaving and we are praying for some enlightened leadership to replace him. We also need an attitude adjustment on our board. We have several things going for us that seem to work in our favor that I think you guys need to adopt.
1. Our largest donors are pro athletics and they are beginning to be heard. ( There is a plan to re furbish Fisher and enhance the basketball facility)
2.There is separate fund raising going on for athletics. We have an athletic enhancement fund that is dedicated to athletics and the Maroon Club regularly gives additional monies to athletics. (I believe all your fund raising is co mingled.)
3. There has been talk among some alumni to start an outside foundation to give non need based scholarships if the school does not give them. ( This would be similiar to what is being done at Princeton and Penn at the moment)
I really believe you have to organize, but here is where we differ. I believe the Patriot League can be an alternative to the Ivies as a scholarship League, but I think the present leadership of Patriot League is weak. The basketball tournament at Showplace is a financial and aesthetic disaster. They have no ability to promote as far as I can see.
The Patriot League needs to hire a PR Firm and get professional in its promotions.
The league must establish an out of conference scheduling policy....no D3 teams in any sports.
The conference must establish standards for the schools to continue in the league with regard to arenas,fields, practice times and facilities, scholarships, and size of team rosters.
The whole league should work towards the best showing in the NCAA tournaments as posible. This should include sharing information etc.
For what its worth I think you guys are with us for the forseeable future we should work to together to make this work for everyone.
