Why do we hate our students!!!

[shof]

Update:
We cut our student section in half. Similar to last year when we had a decent student crowd for the first game, corralled them all in to two sections, lined security up and down the sections, and couldn't draw a decent student crowd from that point forward. Self sabotage is the name of the game.

Well we wouldn’t want to make our home field a real advantage. That would be soooo inhospitable …..

This %#*€ needs to stop!

Here is a question for you. Did our student section increase or decrease in attendance?

It obviously decreased. However, if the war against the admin this week hadn’t happened would attendance have been affected?

As wrong as you’ve been about literally everything, this is your most inaccurate post. But, of course Mr. Morality tries to bring up family.

I wasn’t the one wondering around CF alone yesterday..

You literally screenshot my tweet and posted it instead simply quoting it. Did you add that to your file of my online posts? You have gone even further into stalker mode.

Yes it would’ve been even smaller. Your takes on this is almost incomprehensible.

I can’t quote it because you blocked my account, puss. Someone sent me that in a text. I’m thrilled it bothered you that much though.

My take? My take has been the same as everyone else. Selective enforcement of the policy is wrong by the administration. The only difference is that I brought up solutions but many just want to storm Martin Hall and that will never work.

I don’t think I have you blocked. I saw it when a mutual friend commented on your tweet.

During Buffalo's potential game tying drive last night, the PA announcer had to remind CF that this isn't a library. THAT'S the type of environment I'm going for, and I believe Martin Hall is in full agreement. Minus the loud, rude intrusion from the PA obviously. This is a library sir. Why else would I be sitting here with this copy of Pride and Prejudice sipping a cup of tea?

Martin Hall has NEVER been proactive. If they aren’t dragged through the coals by the fan base they don’t do anything.

The only thing that’s changed is Mark Hudspeth won and got the IPF built. Giving us a massive recruiting advantage in the region.

RCAF isn’t independent.

COA isn’t fully funded anymore.

Near zero NIL funding.

Fundraising positions in a hiring freeze.

Adversarial relationship with the student body.

I could go on and on. But you get the point.

I've spent my career writing various policy/procedure. I took some time to read the article put out by the University to news organizations and followed the links to various student conduct handbooks, organizational rules etc.

All I can say is wow that was bad. Inconsistencies between various policies, definitions that are extremely vague. Rules that amount to a confusing maze in order to hold any event on campus. Covid rules still being published for organizations to follow. A third party auditor would tear this apart.

As far as the message goes I think the problem is a lack of understanding with the powers that be in charge of said messaging. Marketing is very different than crisis & reputation management. I don't think our marketing group, who appears to be in charge of both, has learned that lesson.

This 100000x

We all know these issues. Many want to just complain about it but what does that change? RCAF probably will never be independent, we all know that. Where do you want to grow the money to fund COA? At the same time we’re asking people to donate funds to NIL. Fans wallets are being pulled in multiple directions right now. I’ve offered possible solutions but like always, a few just want to crap on any idea that goes against their “us against the Admin” ways.

Chris,

I’ll extend the olive branch here because I know you do care. Where I disagree are some of your solutions is that they still go around the incompetence of the decisions the administration has made. For example, you said for students to tailgate on the west side. Well by then doing that, it’s unintentionally saying that the selective rule in place is justified. As far as the Greeks talking to Martin Hall, I do know that the right people are aware of the situation there so hopefully things can get settled before any of this foolishness escalates.

The fact is we never had to deal with these ticky tack selective rules when we were students. And we definitely didn’t have people in the administration selectively picking and choosing what rules to enforce on any given day when they felt like it. If we were students back then and had to deal with that, you and I both know we wouldn’t put up with it nor should the students that are there now.

The reason why people here and in the fan base get mad at MH about this kind of stuff is because it’s become a pattern. We are the customer, and our tax dollars fund their paychecks. If they’re not doing their jobs, we have a right as donors and taxpayers to speak up and tell them.

Hopefully, all of this gets settled because these are future alumni and donors we are messing with. If the administration keeps poking them, they’ll never come back years from now when we are calling them asking for donations.
