Accountability for Bryan Felt

[Gohall129]

Need some accountability for our athletic department personnel. Seton hall has the lowest NIL budget amongst all power conference teams. There’s 0 communication about what’s being done, 0 outreach to fans and most casual hall fans don’t even know where to donate.

Felt needs to be accountable, best case replaced. in no other job can anyone have such a clear failure and continue to serve in the role. Hopefully the school can communicate something moving forward

 

[SPK145]

Since you know so much about the AD's role, who would be a good replacement for him?

 

[JoePeppitone2012]

He's going to get one more year because of the changes with revenue sharing then next year if something wrong happens again he will get another year because of another change that is upcoming in the future then if things don't work out again he will get another year because something new will be happening the following year.

Get it yet?

Tells us. How much did you contribute?

 

[JoePeppitone2012]

If you wanted to hire someone else I’d look to Providence see who wants an opportunity

Maybe Creighton too

This isn’t about me. Should we continue to sit in a room on fire and be content? Apparently much of the board is fine with that

Not saying the Trilly site usually doesn’t have good intel but it is NOT possible to know that for sure with every player essentially being paid under the table by outside source.

Also the ass himself, Jeff Goodman, is one of the sources of trillly. Most of these analysts are just spreading the same naritive without really knowing. I mean how could they?

I do believe we are bottom 10% of P6 team right now though.

You don't have a gymnastics team, so Hobbs is available.

No it is about you, writ large. Every person here who complains about our efforts yet they seemingly think the abominable giving rate at SHU is the fault of the school.

The giving rate sucks because we don’t hear from the school about donating. Your point is aligned with mine. If I heard from them monthly about what is going on and what the plans are I’d do more. The honor system we are operating on is a huge failure

 

[hallgrad80]

There’s plenty of blame to go around as to our woeful position as it relates to fundraising both for NIL and for the University and its endowment fund and that includes the Administration and the Athletic Department. We need a fundraising “ Czar “ to oversee those efforts with a specialist assigned to Athletic fund raising and one for fundraising for general university needs like increasing our endowment fund.

You must be a complete non contributor. I contribute what I can and I get emails and other messages from SHU constantly.

There are mailers constantly..I don’t get as many calls as I used to

I get calls, mailers or emails at least once a week.

Not the case, buddy.

The emails have gone down significantly from last season. Last year we’d score 70 something points in a game and next day would have an email asking for that amount in donation. Only emails have been beefsteak, meet the team and the win tickets raffle. Really nothing that engages the fan base. But keep saying everything is great and not look for change to improve the absolute dumpsterfire

 

[JoePeppitone2012]

Speaking of giving, this actually reminds me of how annoyed I was when Mike Walsh had to go separate from other fundraising initiatives for absurd reasons. I was watching him leave business cards for his NIL fund at the bars of Prudential Center while the AD refused to even say the words NIL. It really was ridiculous.

Felt isn’t going anywhere let’s just pray and hope the revenue sharing helps next year

Every other school in conference has more NIL $ but also more $ to rev share with. Seems like a net neutral

 

[williaza01]

Sidenote..has our athletic department said anything about potentially the new scholarship and roster rules affecting us in anyway?

We offer SO few sports I would think it would be minimal but I’m not sure

You’re a constant straw man type poster. I never said everything is great. It’s not. Just calling out your constant inaccuracies. BTW, do you contribute in any way to SHU— general fund, Pirate Blue, NIL, etc? Just curious.

 

[SPK145]

You think Seton Hall is going to be a leader in that?

What’s inaccurate that they’ve sent less than 5 NIL emails since season start from the pirate blue on behalf of onward Setonia.

Do I contribute? Yes. Could I contribute more? Also yes, I could contribute significantly more, but why waste my money giving it to an inept leadership/admin team that has no clue that they are doing and/or no ability to inspire confidence. I’m in my early 30s and am better served putting $ in my kids college fund

 

[Fatpirate21]

We may actually be screwed. Felt’s gonna run us into the ground.

 

[JoePeppitone2012]

My fellow Pirate fan, please don’t kick me while we’re down and I’m hoping for something lol

 

[STLPirate12]

Since some posters on this board so so smart, maybe they should be the ones making decisions. I'm sure they'd do a much better job!

Takes a pulse to do better than felt and mcbride

 

[SOBO1]

Full disclosure, Trilly said that Minnesota, Boston College, and Seton Hall are the three worst NIL schools in P5.

the abominable giving rate is 100% the fault of the school

the school gave a large cohort of students a sub par experience (sugar coating it). plus we are a very small school, and our alumni gap gets bigger every year while costs are mostly fixed. a PG costs $500k while depaul increases its buying power over us every year (for example)

theres such a small pool to tap and barely any of them have pirate pride. and the school doesn't seem to produce the whales like our counterpart (again small pool)

anyone who challenges the claim that we are bottom in funds is simply trying to fight common sense.

Nobody's disputing that we're bottom in funds, just disputing the idea that making a change at AD will be some magic fix. It's not a new problem, SHU has been at a major resource disadvantage relative to its athletics peers for decades, spanning many coaches and ADs. We also don't have the financial luxury that our public neighbors enjoy, being able to fire another coach or administrator every year and eat the buyout without blinking. That's not to say we can't get out of this hole, but it's not something that happens overnight (short of a SHU booster hitting the lottery) and it can't involve rash decisions.

Let me give you a piece of unsolicited advice (someone with 3 younger kids): you are definitely better served putting your hard earned money in your kids funds, savings or other investments.

Of course, this goes without saying. The point is if someone has some discretionary dollars do you direct some of them to SHU in some capacity. If you can but choose not to but come on this board to constantly complain, that’s a problem. Just my opinion.

I get your point if it was unjustified complaining, but in this case the results speak for themselves and i can say there is hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting on the sideline waiting for a direction of confidence from the administration. That’s the purpose of coming to the board and making a point.

i totally agree, but i was responding to the guy who was actually pushing back agaisnt that statement

"the giving rate sucks because we don't hear from the school about donating"

 

[donnie_baseball]

I do believe we are bottom 10% of P6 team right now though.

I would expect that, since most of P6 has football. I'd be more curious to know how we compare to our peer institutions.

I get an email from SHU probably twice a week, more often during basketball season. Then there's the quarterly magazine and 2-3 requests for donations a year.

A lot of the young, cheap alum here calling others "boomers" are either less tech savvy/subscribed (doubtful), or you're a black hole for donation requests.

 

[SHUHoopsFan]

Part of it is the school. If you don’t give the students a great experience, they won’t want to give back. I think you have to look at the giving rate as a whole as saying a large number don’t give back.
