Why the increase, is it interest on loans?
Why the increase, is it interest on loans?
By bona fide ticket drive I presume you mean one that goes beyond the corporate community. How to do that in summer for football is a challenge. I know coaches have gone to some community events and been discouraged by how few show up. I know the response will be don't give up because of one disappointing outing. Find a way to make the next one more interesting. BAsketball wise, I would try to get schools involved as the season does not start until November and school starts in August.
I guess Maggard on Reinhardt Drive wasn't the real problem in 2022 and moving him to Martin Hall didn't really fix the problem.
Our basketball coach makes 750K a year right? Think about that. lol.
The Daily Advertiser doesn’t know we have basketball or spring sports anymore but they sure jumped all over this news.
Regardless, bad news and it explains a lot.
A complete failure to establish a real connection with the people that fund the athletic department, through ticket sales and RCAF donations.
Complete failure.
This performance would get you fired anywhere in the countryexcept here.another badge of honor "We do more with less".
The new contract for Marlin should have been half that knowing the financial crunch. Extended because we made the NCAA ok but extended at that 700k salary was just bone head.
I don’t even click on their articles anymore, but I checked the online version. Stopped counting at 7 tsab stories to 1 UL. And it was about the finances.
While we pretty much live in a world where people get their news electronically, this lack of coverage has to contribute to UL’s decreasing visibility in its own region. No radio, no paper, still some local tv coverage. You’re missing people. How many? Who knows.
The problems run a lot deeper than that, of course. Thank goodness we’ve been winning and staying relevant in most sports. But how long can you sustain it when you’re taking a financial loss year after year?
…and not just the financial losses. You have an administration that knew we had a problem last year and didn’t make any recognizable changes the next year! So, what will you do about it now now that your jobs may be at stake?
