Damn, just when we were beginning to like you.


Wait, I missed this.

When did THAT happen?

"To help my alma mater, in particular Syracuse student-athletes, continue to excel and grow, especially in light of the enormous investments being made, and that have been made in its facilities, is a tremendous responsibility and one I don't take lightly."

I was thinking this was a joke, as I hadn't heard of Syracuse's facilities, but then I went on their website. They may not be Clemson, but we can't get anything built, and they can. :clownshoes :bag :oldman

SU has a shit ton of land, athletics alumni who have given massive gifts to the athletics program (Melo & McNabb, among others), and the support of the community (because SU keeps most of them employed). It is not a wonder they can get stuff built.

I understand that he isn't making baseball decisions, but it is tough to criticize Red Sox management since the Henry/Werner group took over. I'm sure Cuse would suffer through similar financial and performance success and call it a day.

He's also the main reason they have 3 rings.

On the downside, the school is located in Syracuse, NY which is a fucking wasteland surrounded by absolutely nothing and buried under 10 feet of snow each year.

If BC really wanted to build practice facilities they would, but they don't. Here is a direct quote from Leahy.

"Athletics loses money, we are losing 12 to 20 million per year. It does not pay to invest in facilities because the return is not there. We joined the ACC because of the academic consortium".

Good luck being competitive with Leahy!

I don't believe that is a "direct quote". I think that is parsing together things that are close to things he's said into one statement and adding quotes around it.

He doesn't appreciate the potential value of sports though, that's true.

Yeah, I googled the quote in its entirety as well as select portions of it and found nothing. So unless Bill said this at an alumni gathering and corners is asking us to take his word for it, it never happened.

Does he appreciate the potential value of a 150th ranking?

That's a pretty stupid ranking system to use here. BC charges a metric shit ton, which means it doesn't have relative "value," but it also means cash is coming in the door. Albany is 167 on that list, for christ's sake. Because tuition is cheap and for no other reason.

The quote is 100% accurate and he made that statement at a private fundraising event at a Country Club hosted by a Trustee. It sounded like a stump speech and his actions support that quote. He also stated that because we lose money on athletics we will never have a D1 lacrosse team. Also, Bill said that a practice hockey rink is out of the question.
