Elma Roan is not a high school gym! Troll! (Too many Tiger fans Troll the Tigers) and that is a crying shame. The Tiger AD hired her and she was a great find and hire, so far his track record has been very good. That won't stop the Trolls from showing their asses though.

You speak with apparently no knowledge of the avg ladies game facilities in D-1 or even avg attendance

It's women's basketball. You have maybe 4 teams that draw and then a big drop off

Hope the AD can find another job...

And take the lame azz president of the University with him.

We've gotten used to people like Rudd leading the program.
Vocal, eager to get us moving
I never cared much for her, but hell even Shirley Raines had more personality than Hargrave.
Do something....SAY something man! Show us you want us to move forward, and how we're gonna get there.
SOMETHING.

What exactly did Rudd REALLY do that was so great? I believe Fuente was hired before he got here so he didn’t do anything special with football

But he was the president when Tubby was hired

Did he get us in a P5?

Look I’m no fan of Hargrave but what really is the difference? Because Rudd tweeted more ?

an institution is about academics, not athletics. You're trying to base everything off athletics.
Under Dr. Rudd's watch, we are light years ahead of where we used to be. R1 status.

Ask Utah if that matters. When it's brought up about realignment to the B12, they snub their nose. They receive about $600M annually in research dollars. Research matters.

It’s Hardgrave

Hardgrave

let's see if the media and the fans on this chat board treat this fairly.

Pot meet kettle

Once again what all did Rudd do? I’m waiting

A president's job is to raise money period. That's it, that is the game. He's a BD guy with a doctorate.

Dr Rudd fought back against the NCAA witch-hunt 'investigators'.
Think we'd have gotten our wrists slapped if he hadn't wrote his scathing report of how he felt the investigation had been handled? He chronicled how badly the investigators had acted and proceeded...leading the NCAA to pretty much give up on nailing us to the wall.
If Shirley had still been here...the University would have been bending over ready to accept its punishments without so much as a lubejob first.

During his tenure, Memphis gained R1 status.
R1 universities are at the top of research and innovation, and they receive federal/private funding specifically for their academic research. R1 institutions are recognized as the best research universities in the country...and Memphis is now classified as one of those universities.
According to The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Higher Education, it has classified approximately 146 U.S. institutions as having R1 status.
Before Rudd...Memphis was academic punchline nationally. A joke.
While we're still not at the top of the list academically...we're in a much better position to be invited to a conference who places importance on academics than before Rudd became president.

When he took over...we had a $20 million budget gap. He paid it off without increasing tuition dramatically. And he did it in 18 months.

He increased enrollment. In 2015, Memphis had 2052 freshmen. In his 2nd year 2672.
In 2011, the University had a 41% graduation rate.
Today, that number is 54.4%, the goal is still 65%.

They've raised a bunch of money for projects...someone more knowledgeable than I can fill you in on that.

Well, when you get your doctorate and think you can do a better job than Rudd, HOLLA at us. Until then, POOF.

Some people will still find a reason to overlook Rudd’s achievements.
