Box and Won Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I can't say I see the need to hire someone with SLU and/or St. Louis ties. JMM28 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resisting the parochial reflex that often plagues this city and program would enable broader strategy and vision for the university and its men’s basketball program.

When was the last time we had someone working under the Athletic Director who became an Athletic Director somewhere else down the line? Was it Debbie Yow with Jamie Pollard, John McBride and Lori Flanigan? slu92 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second the Kosha overture. Come home, Kosha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Majerus Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I gave up my 50+ year tickets last year because I could no longer abide the volume level of the piped in music and the yelling into the mike of the MC. But I still followed & kept up with the board. Recently I moved to within walking distance of the Wash U field house - it’s calling to me… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably out of SLU's price range now. Irby has a really impressive record after leaving SLU. The fact that Ari Emanuel put him in charge of marketing for PBR is about as high of an endorsement you can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 @willie please review below for compliance with Thought Hall Monitor regulations Someone mentioned Chris Sloan to me. I'm in agreement that we don't have to have a St. Louis connected person but Sloan has actually worked in the sports industry and has relevant experience. https://theorg.com/org/sofi-stadium-and-hollywood-park/org-chart/chris-sloan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I hate to say this, but my wife told me earlier tonight that she had found a notice saying that the NCAA had decided student athletes should be allow to form a union. I cannot find this notification anywhere, does anyone have any knowledge about this? Of course if players unionize the whole profile of college sports will change, for the worse I think. I have no idea how this will be implemented or who will pay and for what, assuming this piece of news is correct, which it may not be. Anyone knows?

NLRB decision on Dartmouth basketball players stating they can unionize.

Old guy Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 This appears to be firm and to come from an official government agency. Now, we will have to see where the pieces fall. I will assume that if this applies in a broad fashion, the schools will have to drop most sports. Then there will most likely be litigation about the fate of the scholarships, etc. I do not see how salaries and other benefits may be payable to large numbers of schools, including SLU.

I can just imagine a house full of repurposed pallets and the “live laugh love” signs made out of chicken wire and Amway products strewn about the May household, a real proving ground for the multi-level marketing schemes.

Lord Elrond Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 16 minutes ago, TheA_Bomb said: Anyone listen to these podcasts? Sound quality on the podcasts was bad. The content was unexceptional, the interview with Katie Sheilds was merely talking about last season and good expectations for the next season, the interview the Christy Connoyer was hyping up the new softball season. Nothing earthshaking. TheA_Bomb likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
