could also be the other direction. need to donate money to prevent SHU hoops from being a stain on the university.

Pitino was not doing Sha amy favors. He was defending Richmond and piling on Seton Hall.
Are you that low IQ that you can't find his email on our own? Do you think he gives a rats ass about you or anyone's opinion on Seton Hall hoops? He clearly has 0 interest. He has his own billions comical people on here keep saying he should donate. If anyone tried to tell me what to do with my money, I would slap them in the mouth. Also people need to stop crying about St. Johns and Repole, if shoe were on other foot we would all be very happy right. Piartecrew full of beta, victim mentality cry babies lately, becoming unbearable.
They didn't have enough money to pay for the practice facility. 50% is covered by a bond (debt) with the remaining covered/reimbursed by donors. That tells me that we completely tapped our donor base and still needed to take on significant debt to make that happen.
Sounds like the well is tapped for the foreseeable future.
Not really. It means we smartly financed the facility construction and raised money for it and other things.
Say what you want about Pitino but like him or not the man is a great coach. His statement about Seton Hall are true. The game is now all about money & if we want to compete we must come up with funding or be buried in the league's basement. Let me say this about our current tea: I have been following SHU hoops for over 50 years and this is the worst shooting team I have seen over that period of time. It's time for the administration to wake up and decide if we want to be competitive or not.

No high moral ground. Just well reported facts about the FBI investigation, pay-to-play schemes with Brian Bowen, his firing, Louisville having to vacate one its 2 championships. Details about his transgressions are pretty hilarious, like the strippers brought to the Louisville men's basketball dorm, and a 15-second transgression with Coach Pitino on a table in an Italian restaurant.
Hey, everyone deserves redemption, right? HOF coach who said he would never leave Iona, he was going to retire there. LOL. Same line at many of Pitino's stops, be it Kentucky, the Celtics or the Knicks.
I guess Sha has to kiss his ring since Sha comes from the Willard/Pitino coaching tree - Willard was Pitino's ball boy at the Knicks, Willard's dad worked with Rick as an assistant at the Knick's and at the University of Kentucky.

Totally agree. Pitino took his get out of jail card from Iona after his shameful exit from the Cards and publicly vowed he'd retire at the Gaels. But as soon as an "independent panel" made it acceptable for Fr. Shanley and the holy fathers to accept him at the Johnnies, he bid farewell and strapped his bootie to Repole so he could buy a team legally this time and resurrect both his and St. John's reputation. Repole made sure he had his big purse ready once Anderson was gone and Rick was in. Quid pro quo.
Pitino is a very good coach, but this does not undo everything else unseemly.
Got that right. And arranged for Anderson's ouster, along with the former AD from Duke, and Rick now in the saddle with his racing buddy in tow so they can horse around in the Big East and rinse Pitino's tarnished rep at the same time they resurrect the Johnnie's storied, but quite dated, history.
