Quote from: George64 on November 08, 2025, 10:40:09 AMit's a relatively small price to pay to keep the federal spigot open.  Still, it reminds me of gangster movies, "Ya wouldn't want your restaurant to burn down?"

Morals are truly cheaply sold aren't they?

I am not giving this university another dollar, because I don't know if that $ goes towards the next shake down. I took a big bequest out of my will, and I am giving it to the Finger Lakes Land Trust instead. Fuck MAGA mike kotlikoff, fuck the board of trustees, and fuck anyone else sucking donald trump's tiny orange dick.

Quote from: chimpfood on November 07, 2025, 01:08:05 PMIf you actually read the deal there's nothing really problematic in there. Sure it feels icky to give the government 30 million to leave us alone but if we didn't do this they would just keep all of the research funding instead, which is a hell of a lot more. Not ideal circumstances but they had to do it to look out for their students and staff and I am glad they did.

Not problematic? Turning over applicant data to create the basis for the next "investigation" and shakedown?    The agreement says "we can still come at you again tomorrow."

Agreeing to this? https://www.justice.gov/ag/media/1409486/dl

It's bad precedent and a stain on Cornell's reputation.

an unforgivable stain

thanks for figuring that out

superb book, RIP, Ken

Quote from: WillMakes it seem like the Whale upgrade development came with the added question of "What have you done for us lately, coach?"  The national championship is far enough in the past compared to no winning seasons since the return from COVID.

Maybe.... but y'all the time to ask that question was April, not now. The turmoil from having this happen right before freshman arrive on campus will have impact on this season, not that anyone thinks they were going to be good, but it seems oddly callous for any hope of improvement.

This seems like really strange timing to me.

I never saw a press release about him getting the bump to Assoc Coach.   Maybe I missed it?  

It seems like a logical move- he's proven to work within our system. Hopefully we can keep him a good long while.

Quote from: chimpfoodDon't like what he did to Rihanna but as long as he can coach I guess

well done

Quote from: BearLoverClosed it out the way it opened.

This all I've been thinking about.

coffee tastes really good this morning

So maybe a dumb question but this means we got to start team practice etc well ahead of the Ivy & ECACH calendar?

its a tournament.  4 schools at Tempe.  Sorry that i was unclear.

ASU's site says its RMU, Cornell and UMass down in Tempe Jan 3/4 2025.

Yea absolutely with you.  Beyond sad that he's retiring.  I am really trying to be as optimistic as I can be, and this is the best we could have asked for.

Quote from: BearLoverSo I think this is the best we could have hoped for.

Absolutely correct.  This seems very cautious, well-considered and yet again I continue to be optimistic about our new AD.
