Go sing her praises on the USF academic message board, the last time I checked this is the athletics board . 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.

Im going to regret asking this question as it probably opens up a can of worms but im geniuinely interested to find out peoples opinion.  

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

You're right. 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.

The best Presidents are able to balance both academics and athletics.  Especially the revenue producing sports. Success in sports can also drive admissions applications, in a good way.

Hey guys, I did a little research because I was told that the last major sport (baseball, football, basketball) conference championship that USF won was in baseball in 1995. 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. Tulsa                   2014                      Basketball

10. Memphis          2014                      Football

11. Tulane               2005                      Baseball

1. USF                   2019                       Football

I honestly don't think she ran them off for her own ego. 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.

You do know that we have 50,000 students and the incoming GPAs and SATs are at an all time high?
