Here is a news flash...Strong athletic departments and winning sports teams<br />generate money, pride and a favourable view of the institution.This is well documented folks.<br />Education and athletics must work in concert with each other. Spending money on therapy dogs at exam time.....does not generate money!<br />Hire a competent Athletic Director and focus on results.<br />The Cougar Men's hockey program has been in free fall with only 3 wins this year.Stop with the excuses and drain circling. Get an ad in the paper, interview some people, make a portion of the salary based on performance. Give someone else an opportunity to better the program. Doing nothing is the wrong answer. In the real world even a Pee Wee coach would be replaced with that record.

All that time spent to say hire a new AD and don't get rid of any teams------yet!<br /><br />I agree more needs to be done to promote Cougar Athletics as a whole, but there is nothing really concrete in that document except to say a "plan needs to be developed". Does that plan come when the AD is hired? That should have been done a long time ago!<br /><br />Very frustrating to see, especially as an alumni of one of the sports.

Why consider it? Just do it. Is there really a need for Cougar volleyball. That document talks about what makes a success. Cougar volleyball is not successful, and has not been for years. Eliminate the program and use the resources elsewhere. I am sure other programs could utilize the monies, scholarships, etc. etc volleyball is taking up. <br /><br />Don't delay the inevitable.

I could have told you that before Dick White stepped away. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
