Rainbows and sunshine Rothstein weighs in:
You know it’s bad when…
- Thread starter hbkmyr
- Start date
The buzzards are circling--now all we need is for Steve Politi to climb out from under his rock & chime in
Should drop down to D-3 immediately for a few years until the NCAA can get this crap under control.
Either need to have salary caps or realign leagues within similar NIL levels. If the NCAA doesn’t do that it’s over. If they do have some type of parameters in place then maybe reapply for D-1
We need more of this. More public embarrassment. History has shown that Seton Hall has its head in the sand…they need to be publicly called out…
Their response might still be terrible…but at least we’ll find out if anyone there cares or not.
Felt sent out that email a few weeks ago saying Seton Hall wants Big East and National championships (students and alumni certainly do, not quite sure about Felt) in their athletic programs (I took that to mean ALL Seton Hall athletic programs, not just men’s basketball). Has Felt or the university ever actually discussed a plan as to how they will accomplish that? Will they ever share that plan with the rest of us?
I mean it’s their own fault for saying it but this is just ridiculous and not the issue here
They have to figure out how to get to a respectable d-1 department and go from there
Hard to say, but that email was pretty clearly a "we have to do something without really doing or saying anything" missive. As hollow a communications piece as I can recall.
People say they want a lot of things, but don't know how to get those things or don't want to do what it takes to get those things.
Classic corporate/institutional bafflegab.
Exactly! Felt is telling us everything he knows we all want and want to hear but, unless drastic changes are made, he has no desire to put in the effort needed to accomplish those goals.
This administration is afraid of success. Hopefully Msgr. Reilly will change that way of thinking!
These letters make it hard to shake the impression that the problem isn’t a lack of desire or commitment to being good, like Rothstein said. It’s a lack of people who are competent enough to get it done.
How about Bob Ley speaking out, or is too enmeshed in the current and historic culture?
Only bright spot of last night was listening to Phil Martel with Fanta. Had the color guy been the very direct and sometimes unfiltered Lappas---- whom I like---- he would have, rightfully, skewered us.
If NCAA tries to establish spending limits, the power five who can afford unlimited expenditures will bolt. There is nothing sacrosanct about the NCAA. Look at the heretofore iconic PGA.
And, finally, IF we did submerge to D-3 or even the MAAC, we'd be comfortable there in mid pack.

Your last point is what I always question. If people assume we drop down to the MAAC we would be instantly top dog that is really not the case. We don’t even have a MAAC level gym to play in. After watching guys like Fuquan,Whitehead, Khadeen, Desi, Angel, Ish, Powell, Rhoden, Mamu, Dawes, Dre, Richmond play for the past 10+ years, who’s going to MAAC games?
Which goes to the question … do you support the name on the front or back of the uniform?
