    Maggard listened at the lunches we had with him

    Don't think students will support a student fee anytime soon 2012 was the best shot we had

    Is he that bad?...met the guy a couple times, seems like a good guy (which I understand doesn’t necessarily equate to successful)...

    If we can’t get the students to financially support student athletes, how do we expect fans and corporate sponsors to buy in?

    Seems to ____ off the older fans. He's aggressive, but he's not a smartazz like Farmer was in my opinion.

    Met with him and he surprised me. We were meeting because my son had some questions about the career path to being an AD. Once they were done taking he turned and asked us what the athletic department can do better. Him wanting to improve and not be a good ole boy is a plus in my book.

    My experiences have been the same with him. We had several meetings and he is willing to listen. I'm certain he has crossed a few people, I've heard it from several supporters. But my experience has been good with the guy and I see an effort in making changes being made. I don't expect perfect, but I do expect effort and they have delivered it.

    Live in Houston and have never met him. Emailed Nico a few times and have always received prompt responses. The last was because my son was looking to change majors at UH from engineering to sports administration. I just asked him for advice and he replied with his cell phone number and said to have my son call him. He has been extremely helpful.

    Everyone has different experiences, but mine have been first rate with the current athletic leadership.

    No re-entry these days unless you buy another ticket.
