Felt Email - House Settlement

[JoePeppitone2012]

I keep reading about how the alumni don’t show up or can’t do it?

I’m sorry but in Willards last few seasons 2019 2020 that Prudential Center was a packed house with crazy fans. Everyone I know who pays attention to sports was contacting me about SHU and asking to go to games from alumni to locals

The base is there when they win. The fans proved it. I could barely move during the Michigan or Villanova games in the arena it was so packed

Felt the rest of the department and BOR being too lawyery cautious fumbled it all when faced with NIL for multiple years now

If they don’t at least fire Felt they might be unreachable

How does he still work at Seton Hall?

When lifetime Seton Hall supporters like Jerry Carino and HallDan are treated like strangers, something serious needs to change.

$$$. That’s it. Need more donors, mainly big $$ donors

These are connected. Sha is running a kingdom.

We need people with a clue about major fundraising at a high major D1 school. We currently do not have that and haven’t for quite some time. You can’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results. It doesn’t work like that.

Felt was marginally qualified for the job when he was hired. Maybe even sub-marginal. So it' s hard for me to get too angry with him for his poor performance. It was to be expected. The issue I have is with Lyons, who put Felt in that role and then disappeared into his other --admittedly more important-- responsibilities. It was a classic SHU small-time managerial decision. A lot has changed there since I graduated in 1970, but the organizational ineptitude has clearly endured.

I understand your point, and agree that we need to do something different. It’s still $$ though. We don’t have the donors compared to other schools.

I do disagree with one point you suggest (you don’t outright make the point). We’ve never had a big fundraiser guy at the helm of athletics. It wasn’t Fogelson. We spent $$ on him, supposed big name from X…and he did what? Can’t think of a single AD who was much better or different than what we have.
