Pretty sure this is the guy who runs promotions for RU sports including the Simba and macarena cam.
Geoff Brown serves as the Senior Associate Athletic Director/Chief Marketing Officer at Rutgers Athletics.

This includes any and all revenue-related functions of the departments, ticketing and marketing.

According to his Bio he was in charge of concessions...is that enough reason to celebrate?

Greg Brown is the donor not Geoff
Let's hope they didn't do anything that results in another black eye for the Department.
Greg Brown is a little more than a donor or athletic insider. He is Chairman of the Board of Governors. That makes him Barchi's (and Hobbs') boss.

NO. Brown as in the man responsible for the lame circus acts you see during time outs at basketball games. What works in single A baseball doesn't translate to a college athletic atmosphere.

Move along, nothing to see here. We wish them well in their future endeavors.
Disagree. They were fired for a reason. I've worked a bit with Geoff on a few things in the past and it sucks to hear this.
So basically Bac2therac bashing these guys relentlessly over the last week on the basketball board got them fired.
Oh, yeah, I don't doubt either one of your statements. Typically, they're often both true. Sometimes, the reason sucks, sometimes the person shot themselves in the foot, sometimes a change is made just because. My very first job, they were laying off salesmen left and right, so every two weeks or so, we'd get a memo that "so-and-so is no longer with the firm, we wish them well in their future endeavors." Typical corporate crap. This is going to happen. Change at the top trickles down. I've seen so much of it over the years, I just can't put any effort into speculating anymore. My thought was more along the lines of "here we go again" but not necessarily in a Rutgers context, just in general...
Interesting - they were on board since 2013 & 2011 - these were clearly not "Hobbs selected" people - now that does not mean that there automatically would be friction - but it would be a question - plus it is just over a year since Hobb's start - he could have laid out what he wanted and not gotten close to what he requested - - and / or it could be that this lines up with normal annual review time & things did not go well.

I'm a bit disappointed to hear this. I've worked with Geoff on a number of things & have found him to be eager, receptive & willing to work on any issue presented.
@Block R GEOFF Brown is the person who was let go. GREG Brown is the Motorola guy/chairman of the board. Two very different people.

How did Hobbs fire the Chairman of the Board of Governors? Did he overstep his bounds?
Please tell me this is not a serious question.
LOL.
But I didn't know that Hobbs had the ability to fire Purcaro. I thought she worked for university finance
I Rutgers everywhere.
One of my nieces interned for the Blue Claws when she was In B school. Geoff was very well thought of by the employees and interns.
