Are you guys trying to become a football and baseball school?

You guys seem to excel at recruiting in football.

Have never heard that said out loud, 2039.

Although yesterday’s news was rattling, I slept great last night!

After a few days in and after reading numerous articles, posts on other schools’ message boards, and private messages, it’s obvious Campbell is coming out smelling rosier thanks to his “detailed” message. I’m surprised he took that route.

Hopefully his words are not true, taking a jab at funding is rough. Funding is everything if you wish to be successful these days in basketball, even at our level. Definitely curious what level he deemed necessary at the CAA level

We'll never know the full story but it sounds like he was over promised finances before being hired. Getting a new president this year might have led to that change, who knows.

I'm sure he wanted to try to keep up with Wilmington and Charleston, but that's tough to do since they don't have to fund football. Seems like our athletic department wants to try to keep football alive by any means necessary.

I gotta say….as much as I enjoy Campbell sports, I’m kinda excited we now have University Admin that will say “no” to Athletics every once in a while.

The new prez started in July, 3 months after the coach.

HoopDirt just posted our possible next HC.

Was an asst at a local D1 private and an HC at a D2 private.

Believe he will be a good hire, his record is impressive at Anderson.

Extra rough couple of weeks for the athletics department. Making headlines for all the wrong reasons right now.
