Nope you literally can't make this up! The department is a dumpster fire right now. So glad we added WLAX! Good Job Compher

Per Igoe

Quote:All Pirate athletic programs are having to cut 10 percent of their budget for the upcoming academic year, including recruiting budgets, per multiple sources.

This due to ECU being in the red overall in the athletic department and having to recover funds.

FWIW our revenue/budget is around 12-13m greater than ECU's - not that it has had an effect in on-field performance yet.

And it seems this little nugget got swept under the rug.

I can't see how the athletic department's financial issues along with a host of other issues didn't send up red flags to those in charge that something is amiss with the athletic department. I don't see the Stadium project's projected revenue offsetting the deficit.

I don't see how all of this is financially plausible unless they are expecting some conference media deal windfalls.

Tulane has been spending quite a bit to improve their AD. They should start showing results fairly soon.

True -- its really two programs going in two different directions.

Wow. Hard to believe the state of ECU athletics from just a few years ago.

Dark days ahead for ECU I'm afraid. A joke of an AD gets an extension. All sports in the gutter of AAC play. Budget issues. Added a non revenue sport. This all points to an incompetent BOT and President.

It sucks but ECU might just be ahead of the curve in not ignoring the problems many G5 schools are who continue to live on subsidy credit cards above their means.

There will be a lot of programs starting this process in earnest in the next 4-5 years unless they get out of these conferences.

I have a hard time believing that Compher was the best that Coach Holland could find.

Why would he find his own replacement? C'mon now. The powers that be were intoxicated by the fact he got NIU to a BCS Bowl.

DCU was once a proud solid football team that regularly beat NC State and West Virginia
