Okay, then hold it on campus instead of at the Hilton. Problem solved...

I’ll bring tuna subs from Subway

Do Peruna level donors and above get meatball subs?

Well done

They lost their sponsor..in addition, a number of people wanted to challenge and question our AD about his annual speech about GPAs instead of W-L"s in front of a full house of football fans.

The Gardner Group stopped backing the luncheon....surprised to hear this? While I'm going to miss the luncheon this year, probably a good idea to regroup get it planned right where it raises money instead of loses and then roll it out next year after SD has his first winning season under his belt.

BS! Our AD hasn't a clue nor the foresight to market the program. We've lost numerous season ticket holders and have gained very few. A major responsibility of the AD is to generate sales, not rely on W-L to fill the stands. It is his responsibility to recognize athletics for what it is a REVENUE opportunity. If he is sitting in his office, waiting for tickets to be sold he simply needs to go. It is his responsibility to not manage to a static revenue line, but to increase revenues. It is very disheartening that that he sees his job as managing a budget instead of managing the top line. He is way over his head needs to go. But, then who else would Turner hire that would be his yes man.

You people are fools if you believe that the head of the Mustang Club didn't bail for a reason!

Wonder why TCU does it and SMU doesn't? Their AD moved on to UT ours didn't even gdet an interview at KU! Little man, with no insight as to how a major program is run and what it takes to increase revenue. Once more, he needs to go, unfortunately no one wants him.

He lectures on diversity and GPA, I told him BS, he had two goals, the Big Xll and an increase in athletic revenues. He has been here what? seven years? Since that time he has never reviewed a coach's performance face to face, there is only one or two coaches still here, he doesn't have the respect of a single head coach, and we've fallen well below 100 on the Director's Cup rankings. We don't have a single member of the Athletic Department that ever coached or played in D-1, not single employee! We don't have a booster club any more and our Letterman's Club is fed up with him. If your guys don't get the fact that the President of the Mustang Club, whose election to the board was made by the administration quits on the program and you guys just go passively on with the same ol,' same ol', no one has a chance! Oh, its OK we no longer have a luncheon to fire up the troops, why not get rid of the cheerleaders and the band, their expensive also.

We have a little man, that has no vision for athletics at this university, a UNC PE major that has no business sense, a little man that is afraid to reveiw his subordinates, a little man that is more afraid of his budget than winning, well boys, adios. You get what you deserve.

I'm not sure anyone could sell more SMU football tickets.

You are correct, if you don't try and sit in your office like a little king you won't. Those of us that saw us go from 6,000 to 60,000 in one year against Rice at the Cotton Bowl know it can be done. And we had losing seasons. It requires vision and effort. You can't simply sit in your office and wait for the President to call.

Quite frankly I won't hire a person with your attitude or lack of vision. I really mean that. If you truly believe it can't be done, it can't or at least you can't.

Why not just reseat Ford then? Once more, this guy has to go!

Mex deservedly gets a lot of [deleted] sometimes, but he’s not wrong about Hart.

I'm not for hire.
Good luck
