She has been an albatross to athletics from the get go and she is finally gone this summer. Excellent point except for the fact that USF exists because it is an academic institution not an athletic one. USF has not floundered under her leadership, USF has excelled and, just like when CJL, CSH and others got run out on a rail we will be worse off without her. Yes, USF struggles in football, sort of, and struggles in basketball, sort of, but this school excels in so many ways, which unfortunately for the rest of us, the loudest football first fans find unimportant. But the older I get the more I understand that it is impossible for an 20 year old to have an appropriate perspective. If we haven't won a championship for 5 years, that is 25% of a 20 year old's life, its difficult to get out of the mindset that USF has and will always be a terrible place for athletics. But if you're 50, that's 10% of your life and you are able to remember the times when we were worse (no football). So although I can see the point from the other side, it is a flawed perspective that can only be realized with time. And speaking of sports on TV, I've been watching women's basketball on TV all day, last I checked we were pretty good in that and take away UCONN who knows what was possible. The Notre Dames and South Carolinas of the world are thrilled that UConn is not in their conference. Edited March 7, 2019 by cophbulls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does Judy being president affect whether we win football and basketball championships? Isnt that more a reflection on the coaches hired by the AD and overall athletic budget.....and dumb luck? Its more about the coaches she has run off in the two revenue sports for her own ego. From a sports standpoint glad she is gone. Academics is a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USF has floundered under her leadership. Screw Grants and such, give me a BB conference title. If she had kept the Baddest Man on Campus CJL, she could have been a contender.

I was legitimately curious about how this stacked up against our other conference mates. I'm only listing the last conference championship for each school. Feel free to fact check me as I may have made an error. This is the last time each school won a conference title in a major sport: School Last Conf. champ. Sport 2. ECU 2018 Baseball 3. UCF 2018 Football 3. Cincy 2018 Basketball 4. Wichita St. 2017 Basketball 5. Houston 2017 Baseball 6. SMU 2017 Basketball 7. Temple 2016 Football 8. UCONN 2016 Baseball and Basketball 9.

I just think she thought that was what was best for USF at the time .......... but she should have kept her nose out of. That's why you hire AD's.
