We have a billionaire megadonor that's head of the board who loves to flaunt his wealth and have access. Can he just put a ton of money in a player pool like Miami is doing along with some of our other wealthy alums?
We tout academic excellence but PR/Marketing group doesn’t know how to spell or take decent pics-Yikes

The Earth still rotates on its axis, the American League still owns baseball’s All-Star Game, and Donald Trump still contends he won re-election. In short, the two weeks that college

Maybe someone will be hired in the short term to rectify this obvious shortfall.

This has to be some type of joke.Is this the Gill fail-up syndrome?Maybe this will get him the ADof Sweet Briar when it becomes available
This is all under marketing. Not PR. I know we like to bash the PR staff but 75% of what we complain about comes out of the marketing office and that is stricktly under the thumb of someone who has been at UR wayyyy too long... and that’s why there is no creativity...
Wow. Bashing a guy who’s wife is going through her third or fourth round of chemo during a pandemic in a year that was unlike any other in college athletics... not sure how I feel about that.
Is that why Halle left? I’m not buying your thesis.Maybe the Head of Cheerleading Cynthia McMillan is the reason why Marketing along with PR group stink.Embarrassing.
Bring back someone like Scott Day and his crew,No more amateurish nonsense,
Leadership creates a strong bench.Both are obviously inadequate and should be overhauled.
Otherwise we will continue to kid ourselves about the strength of the product.No excuses.
The AD who has been 2nd in charge since Miller has run off 6-7 in the marketing department. One went to be the head at Vcu, now Georgetown. Another who is the head of marketing at JMU. Not to mention the former ticket manager who is now AD for external at VCU. I’m sure there’s more too.
At this point, Hardt 'owns' the whole thing. Seeing proud alumni like J Coleman leave for the Art Museum and C Center throw in the towel without having her next job lined up would seem to be horrible signs for the overall morale within the department.
As mentioned above, it is beyond tragic and sad the people that we have had within our department over the years in various positions that have either left or been runoff that have gone on to be very successful…and then who has stayed. Clearly not a well run department. I’d say it actually is a broader issue across the university from what I’ve seen that it takes a special person (and we have a lot of those) that is succeeding despite the powers that be. The administration has been so bad for so long…but nothing happens. Maybe if the Board would pay attention rather than quibble over naming rights. It’s so hard because so many of us care that we don’t let this fail…but it’s so damned hard trying to make sure it doesn’t. Eventually though…people will realize that rather than keep banging their head against the wall at UR that other organizations will appreciate the efforts. I hope there are changes but fear in time even the die-hard supporters will quit covering up the mistakes.
From what I hear, Hardt is even more invisible at UR than Gill was, and Gill lived in DC.
I think the broader university administration has generally done a good job running things, but for whatever reason, athletics is a rudderless ship and they haven’t been willing or able to get people with “vision” in place.

The broader admin did allow a no compete fake hiring process with the AD tho. I've contested from the start it was essentially a golden parachute type gig and that the pretentiousness was off the charts with this one. Only have to listen to the "Regatta" speak once to recognize. And sounds like many staff tired of it all. Strange when there are are a couple good UR alum ADs out there.

It’s a shame he had to fall on the sword for Ayers when they killed men’s soccer and men’s track and field.
It’s now Bucknell south in the department. And with Jasmon’s position up for grabs there may be more coming.
The non-coaching overhead of RC should be throughly evaluated.It’s a total department budget north of $30M.It’s greater than 15% of the University’s budget.
The Cornell Economist new Prez should read through this non functioning RC nonsense in 5 minutes.
The 1st question he should ask Hardt is “Name all the coaches that work for our Intercollegiate teams”.He never talks to 98% of the coaches.
2nd Question”What do you do directly to raise money for the university excluding talks with Queally.?Name the top 25 donors to UR Athletics and how often do you meet them?”
3rd Question “What does the PR and Marketing group do in order to raise awareness of team production and greater contributions to UR.
There are many others.

I agree about Gill, I’m still supportive of Hardt at this point. I also remember a lot of
negativity around Miller. Far too accepting of Cooper (was that his name?).
Its not the job for the faint of heart. LOL
Now this is a very clever,streamlined idea for NIL.

Never saw a badly written press release from VCU.No misspelling,no improper syntax,no incorrect possessives,no badly written compound sentences,proper sentence structure..And we point our noses up at these folks.It’s all about leadership.They have a real AD who demands a higher level of product across the board from admin to coaches and is actually aware as to what goes on within his organization.
If you try to log in ,the system is down for maintenance.I thought this was a joke.It’s not a joke.It’s almost comical but rather sad and reflects an underlying amateurism inside RC.Bureaucrats with baggage running our intercollegiate athletics program.
