It is indeed a sad day!
I've never set foot on the campus of UNI, and now, I promise I never will!
This power play by the AD and the President is despicable!
I wouldn't hire either of them to cut my grass, much less manage anything!
First of all, it was totally a cluster.... from the beginning! Giving them less than 60 days to raise $1.5 M? Brilliant PR work!
He could have milked this thing for tremendous public apathy and support for the University and given them more time to raise some funds.
"The University and Community that cares" would have been the headline! Parents of prospective students would fall in love with that, you idiots!
Now, you look like the bad guys that you are for all that see!
We're talking about a D-1 MVC program, here!
You just alienated EVERY prospective athlete in every sport you still have!
The sad thing is, now that this happened, enrollment will go down from the negative publicity, and more sports and academic programs will have to be cut!
Who hires these idiots?
Do they have any Business or Marketing classes at that school? Allen and Dannen need to go to those classes!
