Is our current AD stupid?
I really hope he's just being politically correct. I hope he's not this clueless.

RE: Is our current AD stupid?
Instead of starting a thread with a one liner why not state your major concerns and how those seem to either be ignored or misunderstood by Bowen?

Maybe the jury is out? Who knows. I am a little surprised too though.

It's called good PR, the Sun Belt and MWC commissioners are out railing against this and he is saying good for them. Takes a bit of piss out of their sails. He knows what's really happening just using media against them

The game that all AD's who are in the AAC play is to talk about how great the AAC is while trying their best to get out of the AAC.

it's not lying. It's called realignment. Everything is true until something better comes along.

edit: realyingment

Mike Slive coulda said the same thing not too many years ago in his previous role, but then he got paid a lot more money and makes statements about this autonomy that end with..."Being good for the student athlete".

All these folks make so much cash now, they usually just tote the company line.

The whole thing is such a sham, that I'm losing interest every year.

Goated along and toting the company line. It must be late. Even spell check is getting squarely.

I'll say what I've said all along. Our best chance at inclusion is getting the best basketball schools from the big east, American & Mwc & form one hell of a basketball only league that could make the basketball side a 6 league power structure.
