George Kurtz big keynote address next week
- Thread starter NYShoreGuy
- Start date
Cmon alumni brother Kurtz, you may not be a hoops fan but it's nice to see your alma mater on TV doing well and fun to watch... You can throw on your TV all over the USA and smile and say that's my school......... Thank you for all you've given to the academics, but as a Police Officer graduate who gives as best he can, I take pride in seeing our Pirates do well in EVERYTHING, I don't care for golf but when they win in golf I take pride, so as you know men's basketball brings much attention to our alma mater, if you can bring us all as a community in a better position due to your Seton Hall degree it would be so very welcomed and appreciated... Thank you for representing us well thus far and being a great SHU alumni... Very Respectfully, K. Said ' 03 BA Criminal Justice
This is where someone needs to give SHA a plane ticket and send him to this event. There must be some after hours schmoozing events for this event. Sha needs to get in there and start a relationship with Kurtz. This is Sha's biggest and most important recruit. If we don't have a billionaire donor for the program then we will flail around until salary caps come into play.
Lol sha doesnt want to talk to anyone, you think hes going to put on an actual suit fly across the country and talk to a billionaire? I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you too
i think it’s time for all to move on from the hope of Kurtz helping out. For all we know he could’ve had some bad run ins with basketball players in his time on campus and would never support SHU basketball for that reason. Does anyone really think a talk with Sha and he’s going to say damn let me throw a few million annually in that direction?
I mean people grow up and mature more and enjoy seeing their Alma Maters name plastered on national TV though , guy lives in California and a successful SHU basketball teams name gets it PR all over the USA so people like to hear "Hey George saw your school play Saturday they look great" the little things ... The better your sports the more your degrees profile gets raised
He is worth 7B i dont think he gives a rats ass, I know its hard to comprehend at your level but it is the reality
Exactly. Same line of thinking as people who presume that Holloway, even if he desired to, could just fly out to see him and "build a relationship". Kurtz exists in a different stratosphere, and basketball isn't on his radar nor does he want it to be.
It's disappointing a fellow Pirate doesn't want to donate what to him is the equivalent of pennies to make this program nationally relevant, but that's his choice and we evidently have nothing and no one to compel him to change his mind.
How could it not be a good investment to fly out there for two days, introduce/re-introduce himself, say hello, and fly back. You have to recruit him like you'd recruit a player.
Then we're in trouble.
The irony is that there is general consensus that college basketball now is a complete cesspool and is out of control. But we think a smart and successful guy like Kurtz needs to help the program by contributing to it. It’s widely known he contributes to the school in other academic areas. Maybe he thinks that’s in the best interest of the university sustaining itself. Maybe he actually thinks we should drop down to a lesser league.
With respect to your last sentence, I would wager he has never given thought to that or cared one way or the other lol
lol…true. I guess if he doesn’t give a rats ass he doesn’t care what league we play
