It really needs to be one who has fought in the trenches and lived how DC handles athletics. It need to be someone who is willing to fight hard and champion athletics. We have a lot of folks who cover us on the academic side so I would like someone who covers the athletics side. I am sure we will ap...

Guys the absolute best AD and ambassador for DC in in your front yard... Bob McKillop. To go elsewhere would be insane. Nobody knows DC and athletics at DC like McKillop.

the fundraising arm for athletics was the Wildcat Club. It did operate as a separarte entity until in 1993 when PS Carnegie retired. Under Terry Holland a name change for the WC to become the DAF was initiated. Once the name was changed the DAF worked under supervision of Development. In 2000-2001, ...

This is my broken record. I am asking everyone to please contact Jim Murphy and Gavin Viano to recommend Coach Tom Couch into the DC HOF. If any of you support this thought please take action and don't let this man's legacy slip through the cracks. I am very passionate about getting this done so if ...

I have just had an epiphany! I am insane! I continually expect the college to support athletics and they never do. Doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different results.

Stevelee I agree that just throwing money at a program is not the answer. I believe attitude and support are the issues. I am probably tainted but I saw my Dad go toe to toe with folks to get things done for the programs. He didn't think about whether or not his job was at stake. For him, the athlet...

I believe it is quite obvious over the last couple of decades and borne out by Bill's figures, that there is not much interest in the Admin, AD's office or trustees in athletics. There has been a lot of talk from these areas that is just talk. Point to one positive financial commitment that has been...

I would again reach out to all DC alums to contact Jim Murphy and nominate Coach Tom Couch for the HOF. We got it done for Coach Fagg, now lets do it for Coach Couch. Please let your voice be heard in Jim Murphy's office. Those who do not know Coach Couch talk to any athlete during the 1960's throug...

I had a few contacts with Gavin several months ago and still waiting for a promised response.
I think I am too much a thorn in the admin's side.

Now you have the right idea! All this chatter is way too weighty for a beautiful weekend

Stevelee your questions make the assumption that we have tried certain avenues and that there exists a black or white response. Are there foundations? yes. Have we tried to solicit any? Don't know. Do we not try because we do not know the answer? Not in my blood to not try. Do other schools have thi...

Stevelee I recognize the fact you can give to a particular sport and maybe it is a matter of perspective. I think a "campaign" for athletics by the college would be a totally different animal with the whole college behind the effort. I would like to see such a campaign that would solicit corporation...

catborn'bred, the alums have always stepped up so shouldn't the college do the same? An example is football. If my figures are correct, outside of salaries, the college contributed $210,000+/- to the operating expenses and the alums contributed $600,000+/-. would you expect the institution to contri...

I would like to know if the situation with the Davidson Trust is in fact a drain on College resources

I have heard from several sources that the Davidson Trust has created a very severe financial drain. If that is indeed the case, then athletics may be thrown a very small bone, if any at all. When it comes to athletics I believe smoke and mirrors is the admin catch phrase. Instead of broad stokes, s...
