Urgency

[hallgrad80]

Seton Hall ‘s disastrous season to date and the lack of fans in the seats at the Rock should spur a greater sense of urgency then I sense exists among the Administration, and the athletic staff to turn this program and its reputation around . If we don’t then we become invisible and that is not what any university should accept.

Will fox cbs and nbc ask the big east to kick the school out?

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Student turnout was embarrassing.

It’s one year…this has been DePaul for many years. It’s really up to the administration and leadership now, but no one is kicking anyone out.

Division 1 basketball is now a professional sport. No one is wasting their money going to a bad product. School pride and all that bunk is now out the window.

 

[Seton75]

I am gonna do 3 things. I am going to continue to give my monthly money to Onward and I am going to the games. And I am gonna hope the school gets is act together as best as possible.

Make that 4. I am also going to hope that some common sense enters this discussion at the NCAA level and above, though my hope to will the lottery may have a better chance.

I’ve brought this up in several threads with little traction

Has to school released or said anything about their plan on revenue sharing next year and how we will handle it?

It CAN be something that helps us a bit in our situation

 

[JCB11]

I can’t even give my tickets away this year.

And Georgetown too.

Urgency is important, but they also need a plan. Spending a ton of money on a whole new roster isn’t going to work. We need focused and well-planned spending on a few players that fit what Shaheen is trying to do.

Identify 2-3 kids you really want (probably should include Coleman), spend big to get them, and then figure out the rest.

 

[Piratz]

They must get this budget up first. We don’t have enough at $1.5M-ish to field a competitive team in the Big East. It doesn’t matter who coaches the team. It’s not going to work. It needs to be doubled to get into contention.

**Unless guys want to transfer down, you can probably bring back a good chunk of this roster for cheap. There’s some value in continuity and potential development – yes, even now – on your bench. But the money cannot be spread out the way he tried to this year. I’m talking about Tubek (he flashes at times), Felton, Erheriene, and Yalden. You can see if maybe some solid mid-major backups with them.

**We need Coleman, a stud guard, and a stud big. An impact player at each level. These need to be no-doubt-about-it good BE starting players. Spend 75% of the budget there if you need to as that’s what it may take. Then you can slide in Prince, Middleton, and it’s looking like Dual (emerging) as complementary players on a good team, which I think they could be.

That email said our revenue sharing model?

 

[NYC Pirate]

The best player on next year's team may not be attending SHU yet.

 

[JoePeppitone2012]

Looking forward to the postseason interviews and statements from the Athletic Department. If we get crickets which is possible that will not be a good sign.

They need to be creating and reevaluating it all now while we’re down

I agree with your analysis and would add that we have to take a hard look at Sha’s staff and whether it needs to be “tweaked”.

No WE don’t, that’s up to Sha.

is it? its expected.

 

[jack 1970]

I don't see a priest heading the University adding a lot of value in turning the men's basketball program around in this day and age.This challenge requires someone with a business background.

The men's basketball program is the only thing that matters?

No but we need help and commitment from the top.

Engaging a big donor who loves basketball helps. Guys like Mike Repole make $1.5 million in compounding interest while they sleep. Not overly surprising Syracuse basketball has suffered greatly since Boeheim retired and they parted ways with Adam Weitsman.

Zagoria details the NIL era well in this article:

I don't like Repole but agree with him on his "Evolve or Die" quote.Maybe that should be the name for our NIL!Brutal but true.

 

[donnie_baseball]

I'm sure the Prudential Center & the businesses in the vicinity are not thrilled with our attendance numbers either. Hmm!

Maybe Pru should become our largest corporate partner, pay our players, and enjoy the "magical" resurgence that SJU has enjoyed this season.

Arent they associated with another local NJ school already?

Honestly, I don't know. I didn't say "exclusive partnership," lol. I would ask JAG PT to start coughing up some dough, too.

No WE don’t, that’s up to Sha.

So glad you said this. I had precisely the same reaction.

Me and you are a lot alike.........
