I am as disgusted as anybody, but you want me to burn my tickets for the last 2 games and cancel the tailgates I have scheduled. I started following RU sports in 1975 and they are a big part of my life. Not just throwing in the towel now.
You want change, the push for a new President. Leadership starts at the top. His previous experience is provost of U Penn and President of Thomas Jefferson University, a small college dedicated to health science and research. I am not denigrating him as a Man, he has advanced degrees, and his contribution to the Mergers speak for itself. But the merger has been essentially completed, and he needs to be the leader of a Big 10 University, not just manage a merger. This is a conference whose charter says members will strive for excellence in both academics and athletics.
Barchi wants donors to pay for everything in athletics with RU making no commitments whatsoever. This attitude of being willing to take the BIG money, but not make any commitments or investments is not going to attract a lot of Big donors who are looking for a partnership, not just to be a sugar daddy.
The time has come.
