Accountability for Bryan Felt

Likely much more than that. We’ve beaten this topic to death. Our older generation of fans was likely the first in their family to graduate college and therefore they all felt immense pride in their school of choice. It was a great accomplishment then. It was a privilege to attend college.

Nowadays, its a right, it’s an expectation. Kids feel forced to attend and are saddled with debt that they don’t want but have no choice. The colleges have raised prices to insane levels knowing they can get away with it.

They leave angry, in massive debt and with jobs that likely have nothing to do with their college experience.

Expecting the new generation to donate is a very difficult task. You’re trying to find a needle in a haystack with someone that had: a great experience and makes good money. Harder than you think.

This is accurate in a lot of ways, and I think it is causing a shift in how kids attend college, especially those whose parents have a ton of student loan debt.

This is anecdotal but I feel like the more I talk to younger (18-23) college kids or slightly older, the more I see them taking advantage of the community college -> transfer route. When I graduated high school in the 2000s, it was almost looked down upon to go to community college, which is insane in hindsight given the amount of money saved by going the county college route.

It's also becoming more and more popular to either (1) attend remotely or (2) attend a satellite campus. SHU has the nursing undergraduate program in Freehold. Rutgers has programs at community colleges all throughout the State, where you can take all of your classes (2 years at county college, 2 years at Rutgers) on site at the county college or online and still earn a RU degree. NJCU tried to open a campus at Fort Monmouth that almost killed the school financially, but they had the right idea. All of these schools allow a student to commute to a school or program that they may not have been able to in the past. The challenge for SHU and other private schools will be to attract qualified students who are becoming risk-adverse to accumulating student-loan debt.

This is a crazy chat stream.

Both my wife and I along with ALL of my family members and their future spouses, attended and graduated from Seton Hall in the early to mid 80s. The SH Prep was still on campus. We had a bubble in a parking lot for our recreational facility. Comparing that to the current state of the campus is apples and oranges. We also had a basketball team that was at the bottom of the conference year after year after year. We would pack Walsh and had a great time enjoying our college experience, thankful that we had one.

To read about the graduates from the mid 2000s and their disdain for the school is heartbreaking. I hope that changes as time passes with a view toward a glass half full view of the school.

As for hoops, we've had a terrific 10 year run or so and last year we turned lemons into lemonade by winning the NIT. While we all wanted to go to the big dance, the school did a terrific job maximizing the experience. If you didn't attend, you missed a nice bonding experience with the school.

By any measure our coach is terrific and he's well suited for the school. He's not perfect. Whether going to games, contributing or just providing positive support on a message board, one way or another, lets show support. No one is happy but we will get through this and despite the nightly drones, the world's not coming to an end, and I suspect the school's not firing either the coach or the AD.

Thank you. A rare sane poster.

It’s really way more of an issue than Brian Felt. Before spending $2.4 million on a coach, there should’ve been more strategic thought put into this. In the mixed messages, haven’t helped. McBride starts and says we are not behind, then last year the message was we are fine with NIL although we could use more.

Where was the business plan? It’s simple math. Can the university raise an additional $3 - $5 million every year on top of the donations it currently gets from its base? and do that each year.

Are there other revenue generating avenues school can execute on?

You can’t just do the same thing and expecting different results.

Hall85 did the implying. He posted that Trump won't say anything now because it's the place of the current administration.

I am saying straight out that based on Hall85's post, I expect Trump to say something after the inauguration and he is the President.

Lots of implying
It’s not clear trump knows if you read what he actually said. But he’s confident the administration knows, that’s for sure. And even if he knows, he’s correct in saying it’s Biden admin’s decision - for now at least

Sha had the best offense of his career last year. Why is that? Because he had a bunch of guys who could create a shot for themselves (and convert it) and played well together with continuity. And the addition of Bediako was gold, unlike this year’s transfers.

Who on this team is backing down an opponent ? Who is driving the lane to score? Who is exploiting a mismatch? These guys – outside Coleman who is improving in that area – usually have no clue what to do with the ball (see tempo), let alone having a plan. Dual is moving a bit better too. Middleton and Jenkins could be nice catch-and-shoot types, but you’d have to pass the ball for that. How many times has Okorafor gotten the ball and blew it? A far cry from Bediako. Watching Aligbe try to drive and spin is a real trip, not exactly Dre Davis.

Sha has a high tolerance for players on offense who operate like mad men. How many crazy things did we see from Dawes over the years? Does anyone watch Addae-Wusu play?

He knows they stink, he also knows the rest of the team stinks. There’s really not much he can do. He’s not a magician.
