Cornell Football 2021

It could be a simple as money.. maybe its more than just bringing a coach/coaches.  maybe its the other things that make a team better like facilities/training staff/environment/ staffing in non coaching positions..

Just like big time football.. Ala/clem/Ga.  Yhey not only pay for  the coaches we see they pay for grad assistants and scouting and food prep and recovery and dozens of other positions

Did Columbia do more than bring in a new coach?

Yes they did.  Al Bagnoli who was ultimately hired was provided with an increased recruiting budget, and most importantly, an indoor practice bubble like he had at the University of Penn. They also apparently provided some streamlining of the admissions process regarding student athletes.  Cornell apparently has the started the design process ($5 million in the 2021-2022 budget) for the New Indoor Campus Recreation and Sports Center (total cost $25 million.

Just look what they've allowed at the golf course.  Take a gem and turn it into a third rate facility with lack of support in the form of maintenance budgets and hiring funds.

I'm pretty sure that case study is a microcosm of the entire department

My evidence is CU's incompetence at hosting events. In the past, the lax NCAA tournament hosting performance was generously reviewed as "herpty derp" (paraphrased).

We play hockey every damn year at "The Most Famous Arena in Sports" and our opponents take care of the hosting and logistics every single time. I'm so sick of hearing the Boston Accented Disembodied voice over the PA and Mike Eruzione taking bows with Rhett dancing on our incompetent faces.

This Athletic Department can't seem to do anything except install video scoreboards, pay for a new logo nobody asked for, and knock down condemned grandstands.

Mike Eruzione

This guy.  He's gotten more out of one night than anyone since Peggy Hopkins Joyce.

I thought that BU was in charge of game logistics for Red Hot Hockey but Cornell runs the Frozen Apple games?

look at how often Cornell has tried to host a regional to make sure it would stay local if we got in?

I saw some locals say they were renaming the bear "Touchdown" to "Field goal"  outside the stadium.   So even locals are in on the joke about the quality of the team.

Surprised they didn't propose "Punt" or "Turnover."

Lol Swampy.  It's criminal that Cornell allows football to continue its uncompetitive ways, without trying to address its problems.  Btw women's squash is another (rare) strong women's program.

How about "false start?"

Don't forget polo.

I wonder if fans can shame them into doing something. For example, distribute paper bag masks before the game the same way we distribute newspapers before hockey games.

A literal zero attendance would draw some attention.

I saw a few letter to the editors in the Cornell Daily Sun a few months back.

Yeah, but we need something that will draw national attention. I can't imagine the administration would be happy to see Sports Illustrated or the New York Times run stories about how terrible Cornell's record has become and the discontent among students and alumni over the administration's apparent indifference.

If the administration would just get AN to take early retirement, it would be a step forward.
