Boo Corrigan has a lot of marketing experience and fundraising success. Seems like just what BC needs. Culturally a good fit as well, 1990 ND grad, Irish catholic. Also knows the ACC very well. He has worked at both Navy and Army in addition to FSU & Duke. His strengths are areas that BC desperately needs help.

I'm not opposed to him or the VCU dude. Both are apparently very well respected from everyone I've talked to.

Corrigan was the choice 4 years ago. Right up until the moment Leo and Frank realized he wouldn't be a puppet.

On that point... here's how we will know whether or not there is a chance that BC is turning a corner... exactly how involved Fr. Frank is involved with the process. If Leo (with whom Leahy seems to have an unnatural relationship with) is brought back to help lead the process... it means that (a) Frank is still calling the shots, (b) the BOT Sports Committee either doesn't exist or is feckless, and (c) we are hiring another empty suit.

Its been known for 6 months or more that Bates wasn't being renewed. Now that his "resignation" is official, pay him the 3 or 4 months salary he's owed and ask him leave now. Let's speed the replacement process along.

This is precisely what BC does not need.

Won't Leahy retire soon? He is woefully out of touch

Epstein is in the consulting world? I thought he covered sports for a newspaper.

Is it really a resignation when you have an employment contract, and the contract just terminates on a given date and your employer isn't willing to extend it?

You're arguing semantics, but semantics matter when you're dealing with egos as big as the ones involved in this thing.

I'm hearing it is down to 2; one of the candidates I mentioned and then the super secret candidate, with the lean to the latter. And I have info on the super secret candidate now, and for the life of me, I don't know what they are thinking, but it looks like it will happen.

Expect to be disappointed.

Hey I just checked back into Mary Ann's and let me tell you there's nothing fake about no-fault divorce and the end of society or whatever. IB is blowing the lid off this thing.

He probably should have done the basics of actually finding out if indeed our admissions standards are that much different from other top schools. I have always been told they really are not that different but our shitastic coaches love having that type of rumor out there to give them an excuse for sucking.

to add my anecdote, my understanding is that BC's academic standards are higher than most schools, but not a complete outlier. Told they were roughly in line with other private FBS/D1 schools. that obviously adds some challenge but should not be insurmountable

This just isn't true at all. This is IB, red pill, alternative facts level wrong. The standards at BC are meet the NCAA minimums and no trouble with the law. I'm guessing the last one is flexible too.

I have heard the line: "Don't fill out your application in crayon and you will be fine."


I am a firm advocate of the idea that the admissions standards should not be an excuse, but this is not true. BC may clear a kid that shouldn't get in, or two, or five, but it is not the 29 that get cleared at Alabama or Ohio State. So I agree with you on an individual basis, picking a kid here or there, but volume, no way is it the same, not close.

its a lazy argument. Stanford is only school that has a legit gripe, and they still get elite guys in. BC is on par with, as you said, all the high level/private schools (ND, Vandy, Duke, etc..)

So how does Harvard beat BC in basketball? Are their admission standards on a par with Alabama?

Shitty coaching bow tie. But you were being bluntly rhetorical, so whatever. Try harder.

PS Harvard admits those kids too, and doesn't have a football team worth mentioning.

Not worth mentioning because Harvard doesn't play powerhouses such as Wagner, Buffalo, UMass and get blown out by any halfway decent team? I do not think the excuse that BC can't be Harvard during the week and Alabama on Saturdays holds water when BC would have a tough time beating Harvard on Saturdays.

i'm fairly certain that even ts slaughter could put a smack-down on harvard but we won't be able to judge that fairly until we can transitive the game between holy cross that both of us will play in 2018
