I am not specifically accusing you of this, but I just think we need to see what the next move is before we put forward the same assumptions from the past. I had enough data on Tim Leonard to not trust his vision or decision-making. I just don't have enough information to blindly cast the same judgements Eigonbrot's way yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not saying that he won’t try. But there’s a bigger issue than that… what are we?? We have zero appeal to other conferences, especially compared to most of our conference brethren. We are probably 7/8th (being generous) in the pecking order We may have to hope one conference commissioner has some beer goggles on when looking at us 😆 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are probably 7/8th (being generous) in the pecking order We may have to hope one conference commissioner has some beer goggles on when looking at us 😆 Fair enough. I mainly took issue with laying that at the AD's feet right now. The guy has been here for a year-and-a-half and seems like he is trying hard to get us up and running on some of the areas where we are behind the times. We will find out in a couple of years how the football coach hire works, and I do think he is laying the groundwork for future scenarios. However, I certainly can't argue against the fact that schools like Charleston and Delaware have more appeal than us in general for what they would bring to a conference. I do think being the second-largest public university in Maryland and our geographic location can marginally help us in the future shuffle of mid-major conferences, but not anywhere higher where we all would like to be. We are hurt by the lack of recent evidence of high-level success in hoops and football, but I think there is potential for us to be good at the right time in the next 2-4 years. That is the optimist in me, because we have been pretty solid in hoops lately and there is small evidence that we are capable of big things at our level of football. Even if that evidence is over a decade old and growing mold on it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
