cgeldmacher Posted March 25, 2024 Posted March 25, 2024 1 hour ago, Slu let the dogs out? said: *With Pestello retiring next year, now is the time to get a president in there who will make the Big East their goal. We need someone who sees how valuable a BE landing spot would be not just for the sports programs but for the school in general. I'm sure this was also discussed during conversations with Schertz. Recently, information came out that we have way too many people on SLU's Board of Trustees (37 to be exact). Also, several board members are (1) Jesuits from around the country who don't have any apparent connection to SLU (like the President of Fordham and another that is the Treasurer of the Jesuit's Northeast Province), or (2) randos like Holden Thorp (the Editor in Chief of Science Magazine and graduate of North Carolina) or Perry Vyas (owner of a company based in Athens, Georgia and a graduate of Gujarat University). I totally agree that we need a new President that understands the college sports landscape and the difference that a successful athletic department can have on admissions. This is why this crazy board make up worries me. sludevil 1 Quote

I’m gonna go ahead and say they wont be his choice. Quote

slu72 Posted March 25, 2024 Posted March 25, 2024 Death threats? We talking Death threats? We talking ‘bout death threats, here? Oh, yeah, hold my beer while I sign up for death threats. Quote

The Louisville AD really likes Schertz. If it was his call, he would have had a deal in place with Schertz before SLU had a chance. The boosters were a hard no on Schertz. They think he is too risky of a hire for a program with Louisville's expectations in Louisville's current shape. They missed out on the boosters top choice. So now we are seeing a war play out between their AD and their boosters in the media. A war the AD won't win because they need those boosters to pay the next coach and to continue to pay the two buyouts they are currently paying. Quote

brianstl Posted March 25, 2024 Posted March 25, 2024 Louisville twitter is nuts. People that try to act like SLU fans were hard on Ford or too rough on Chris May really don't know how the rest of D1 fan bases react to stuff. It is Charmin soft at SLU even when someone is calling for someone else's job. NextYearBill, JMM28, Bizziken and 2 others 5 Quote
