Thank you '84, that is kind but I don't agree. I'm too far away to do much good. It's those posters and alums who can get to Bonas, who support not only athletics, but academics, the arts, the Mountain, etc. that are doing the most for the school.
As for FD - I'm at a loss. First, I don't now nor have I ever in my life worked for a bank. So, I don't know what those rants are about. Second, if all Bonas cares about is money and greed then it is doing a VERY, VERY poor job at it. Clearly money hasn't ranked very high in the universities priorities over the years. But reality is that in a time of shrinking student populations and poor demographics in western NY, healthy finances are necessary to ensure a strong, vibrant and permanent university. I doubt you will find many who disagree with that statement. If it is open game to attack alums for generousity to their university that seems a bit of a slap in the face to the many, many people who sacrifice their finances and their time for the betterment Bonas. We need more of those people, not fewer.
I'm done with this thread. Perhaps it can die a peaceful death before page 20.

Do Duquesne students refer to their administration building as Fort Bonaventure? Probably not. No--but they do refer to it as "Duquesne Rots from the head down'!!--A-10 Board

Yes Gleason because 15 of pages is just me posting. Just because you have made it obvious that smart debate is not really a skill set you have doesn't mean it is over. You don't like the thread don't open it. I suspect I am done anyways, people like you and KC have way to much childish urge to get the last word with your simpleton statements. . It's only over this season because we have an AD with an ego bigger than his care for our school. He also has a great ability to throw on the schmooze, he knows he was and is wrong.The a-10 told him he was wrong yet here some people are .. defending the guy. At this point he is just trying save face and is begging for it all to blow over, I for one don't want him to have that luxury. Simpleton? GFY, tin foil hat. Dont talk down to me like I am a moron just because I think you have gone overboard. Waaaaaaaaa our home court advantage is gone! Please, I'll bet a year's salary you wont notice a difference. The student section already had 2 rows of bleachers collapsed that my classes used to fill. You had to stand on the baselines and back to the doors if you arrived 15 min before the game. Today its way different yet the RC remains a tough place to play. Putting a row of chairs will not change that and acting like the sky is falling is just stupid. Its a simple thing to understand really. I am done with you though. Leave the insults at the door because I know you wouldnt have the stones to say that to my face. Haha nice. Kind of proved my point there bud. FirstDev I like the passion but your really killing any valid points against TIm's plan. Reign it in. It's not shocking but upsetting people still think it's about 18" or that one season will tell you anything. It's not shocking because Bona has been missing the bus on the big picture ideas for a while now. Tim's decision is the real "status quo" for Bonaventure with a quick reactionary move in jumping over dollars to pick up pennies. Students on the court is/was our brand, worth way more then any 14-17K., Smart people can see that, those who can't keep screaming it's only 18" or relating it to hotdogs. Anyways looks like students got 14 of them so for now I will call that a win for Bonaventure. Continue on....

Ka - thanks for the stellar, insightful advice! I'm concerned that someone, anyone could even remotely be entertained or informed by the persistent personal insults and pettiness this "topic" or "thread" has degenerated into. The original point and purpose had long ago passed and is ancient news replaced by personal affronts. Ka, I again thank you for your sage advice -enjoy the drivel.
