We all traffic in speculation and innuendo. It's not cool to single any one person out for it. Participation in the board should be for entertainment purposes only.

It's more than entertainment for some. I think we should let people decide for themselves what they want out of their participation in the board.

What is the purpose of your participation on this board if not for just entertainment? Spiritual fulfillment? Learning how to fix a lawn mower?

Geez. Everyone is so dam* touchy. When the product sucks I guess people turn on each other. And given the anonymity of a board, everyone's a tough guy.

 

 

You're the one that got touchy by saying something I did that was done to someone other than you was not cool.  Not trying to be a tough guy.  My purpose for being here is not only for entertainment, but for me to keep in touch with Bulls fans, learn about what is going on with the school and the program, and for me to contribute what little knowledge and info I have.

 

Maybe that's not you're thing, but I just resent one guy, other than Brad, defining this board's purpose for the rest of us, especially when the definition isn't one size fits all. 

 

Sorry if that's "touchy."

Miami has a brand the NCAA was not willing to trash. We are a non P5 school with no brand or history. They would have no problem nuking us just to flex their muscle and show they are still relevant.

Oh great.  A crazy dad is mad that his son doesn't play for USF and is now trying to drag us through the mud.  I just hope that we weren't too bad with Egbunu's recruitment.

This board is highly informative of the goings on around the university.  Specifically the goings on around the athletics department, but there's a lot of news gathering on here.  I'd say my purposes for coming on the board are three fold: 1) keep up to date on the latest USF news; 2) entertainment; 3) kill time at work

Here's a question I have, and forgive me if this has been brought up already and I missed it but... if we do end up having some sort of NCAA violation on our hands, didn't we just promote the person responsible for ensuring we comply with NCAA rules to executive senior associate athletic director?

That isn't entirely fair to that person. If a compliance director monitors the programs, promotes a culture of of compliance in the department and does everything right, a rouge coach can easily cheat. The compliance director shouldn't automatically be the fall guy.

 

Now with that being said, my last paragraph was all hypothetical. I have no knowledge on any of these things, I am just saying that a good compliance director who does everything right can still have violations occur on their watch.

Ok man. You win! What, I don't know really, because I certainly wasn't trying to define how others could use the board (nor could I even if I wanted to). And staying informed about athletics and sharing your thoughts on athletics are - you guessed it - also entertainment. But if it makes you feel better, go with it. I surrender to your impeccable logic and goodwill. Back to the shadows of ignorance and faulty logic I go...

Oh, I wasn't implying that he should be the fall guy. I guess more than anything I thought it was interesting because the powers that be obviously thought he was doing a good enough job to promote him. So if anything I guess I'm leaning toward the "review of the matter" will likely not come up with much worth getting worked up about.

Dude, you shouldn't even be driving.

 

(I'm sorry, I was out of line. That includes to you, Hem.)

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
