His other issue was not being given full control over game day. He wanted to create a huge fan day experience where the old Flynn Plex stood complete with stage, food trucks, etc. BCPD we’re worried about underage drinking and re recreating the old Shea Field experience. Dining services was worried about losing concession sales.

BC is still and will be a steppingstone until they commit the financial resources to athletics. It’s a real black eye for Leahy to again be looking for another AD. They either need to embrace the game day experience and move the games to Gillette.

Go Eagles!

It is a State school in a State that is teetering on bankruptcy. One of university systems (the one that has schools like Fresno and San Diego State) already cancelled college for next Fall. From a stability perspective, BC is a better gig. Financially, PAC12 does better than the ACC because they have the most ridiculous contract. The next go around for them will likely be difficult because their viewership is in the toilet.

From a coaching perspective, Chip Kelly hasn’t been the home run everyone thought and his contract is massive. They just gave a massive contract to Mick Cronin as well. He’d have a runway similar to BC where he’d have a good 3 years to let contracts bleed out before making a move. Fans there are more laid back than USC and are even more patient when USC is also down.

At the end of the day, this is what we signed up for... bring in people who will do a good job and then leave.

The long-term effects of missing a football season would be catastrophic for the Athletic Department so I have to imagine they'll do everyone possible to play (including having students back on campus for classes).

Can someone explain this rumor? Your post could be all that's needed to constitute a rumor. Is there anything more than that? Because, BC cancelling FB on its own accord involves it refunding ACC money due to lost TV revenue and games (each away venue is counting on BC being there). It also involves paying out of conference opponents for cancellations. They'd be better served moving the entire program to somewhere in North Carolina and do remote learning there while sharing the Carolina Panthers facility.

I can understand that there could be a concern that any crazy liberal admins in Blue States could do something nuts. But, barring them cancelling all sporting events (including Red Sox and Patriots), private schools are not subject to the same entity deciding the fate of UMass athletics. Further, that risk is significantly heightened at a State school located in an even crazier state (like UCLA).

Look... anything could happen. And, you can never put anything past Dems trying to destroy the economy to usher in socialism. But, I don't see how jumping to a California (which has already cancelled the Fall Semester of most State colleges) solve the problem... especially when UCLA's financials were already a mess.

Tom Dooder {l Wrote}:UCLA wanting him before making a bball hire or being close to the fundraising campaign goal is wild. Maybe he did want to make a move in bball but Father and the Board got tight fisted. Wouldn't blame him.

Word is the other finalist, Reed-Francois, is the front runner. This puts Marty on the clock, one more year. Are they going to let him hire next year so he can immediately bail?

Wonder how Hafley is feeling.

John Swofford says despite the loss of NCAA tournament money, ACC will be able to distribute 98 percent of projected revenues to the schools for 2019-20. "Given the circumstances, we feel pretty good about that."

Pasadena = Rose Bowl

Westwood = UCLA campus

Eaglekeeper {l Wrote}:That is the most naive post I have ever read. Replacing very good coaches is extremely difficult to do. BC is far better off retaining top talent and building a top tier program. Cycling through coaches is all that has ever happened at BC that is why we are a stepping stone. One bad hire and it’s back to the bottom third of the conference.

Go Eagles!
