FDU still capitalizing

[youngalum]

I hate to beat a dead horse but everytime I see FDU cashing in I get upset. Such a wasted opportunity. Some posters asked what we expected? Look what FDU has done with less fanfare than we had and less staff/funding. They had a student in charge of communications! I hope RP is getting sun burnt on south beach.

Fortunately for us Rachelle was such a visionary that she was able to complete the new logo and gym upgrade prior to our run.

True that Bryan got the logo and gym accomplished prior to the run. Should of left RP plenty of time for sponsorships, tv deal, locker rooms, or pretty much anything besides free lunches and self promotion.

I agree with your sentiment but also think the "FDU president told us to the seize the moment" line is an important part of this tweet as it relates to us. The University administration deserves as much blame, if not more, than the athletic department for the lack of continued momentum from our run. At the very least, Gene should have recognized that our athletic administration had no one in place with any sort of experience in dealing with advancement, naming rights, TV deals etc and utilized whatever staff we have at the university for this. Maybe we tried, maybe we don't have anyone on campus competent in these areas, who knows? Looking back, it doesn't surprise me that RP dropped the ball on this, but it is alarming that the University as a whole let this moment slip away, especially at such an important crossroads in higher education where colleges like SP are fighting for survival.

Some people just can't play a big stack when given the opportunity.

I almost laughed when they said $100 for two courtside seats. I was with my daughter (8) and was like ... Ummmm, we will take general admission. Let them sit empty. I had an "only at SP" moment when the sign at the tix window offered a child ticket price, and the young lady in the booth said, "I realize the sign offers that price; I just can't process that in the system. Why not encourage fans to go sit courtside rather than let them sit empty? Looks terrible on TV.

Also, why do they not want folks using the entrance connected to the parking deck?



I'm done yelling at the clouds!
