Re: Bball Vent...

While I have some of the same concerns there was a jump in enrollment by out of state students after Ali went Jayhawk hunting, and I think that most people who would be hired to be a president of the university have an understanding that athletics is one of the biggest ways that a university connects itself with the community and surrounding areas. As a president they cannot do some of the drastic things that a faculty member can just due to the fact that they are so much more visible to the community. Finally the people who I know who are on that committee I would consider to be academic first but still support the athletic department and understand it role.

Univeristies are no more than fundraising arms of the state. Athletics is a giant part of that.

Apology accepted. And I believe we play them at the end of the month.

unfortunately, there are plenty of powerful people who could take a calculator and some basic accounting skills and make that option look very attractive to someone who has no true appreciation of UNI.

You have lost your mind over this. One question if they have basic accounting skills why would they not just use excel

Thank God Mark Oman is part of the committee.

When you have a guy who is capable of writing $10MM checks people tend to listen carefully. He loves all thing UNI, including athletics.

Re: Bball Vent...

I don't think Iowa needs to have an overly great season for us to make an at-large bid. They got hot from three and that was the deciding factor. We are an average-above average team at this point. Hopefully we continue to improve throughout this season and peak at the end. Cliche- nobody wins championships in December. We are young and need to improve. We have a very talented team minus a true big presence down low, but we just need to figure out how all the pieces work together and I'm sure Coach Jake will work that out.

Side note- I want Iowa to lose every game they play in every sport, except when they play Iowa State and I wish they could both lose. No questioning my loyalty.

The Oman's are outstanding people and Mark is a big supporter of athletics. I was very relieved to see his name on that board.

Re: Bball Vent...

I'm more disappointed that Jake Koch has not stepped up his game and be the stud I think he is capable of being similar to Aaron White of Iowa. He is a matchup nightmare when he gets aggressive offensively.

Re: Bball Vent...

Of course you don't. But I think the fact you are still hanging around this board maybe we have a new panther fan on our hands? dual fan
