Sadly, I've been heads down for a few months now. If it weren't for twitter, it would have take a few weeks for me to figure out the score of the game. So there's that at least.

Anyone see this article? Towards the bottom is includes a small part about UAlbany owing the NCAA $30,000 for hosting the first round of football playoffs. https://www.timesunion.com/sports/article/Low-turnout-for-UAlbany-football-playoff-victory-14873033.php

Insert edit: I like <winning> football May my otherwise lame effort to lighten the mood not go down in flames

I like football

I'm definitely older than you! Probably dating myself to some degree but there used to be a ton of PE classes including swimming classes (I took one. Great 1 credit class.) There was a swimming (and diving?) team too. I don't know if there is a local market for pool rentals though.

Was hoping I read incorrectly. Need to find it again. Regardless, just terrible. What were they planning on doing with it? That I don't remember.

Did I read correctly that they are getting rid of the pool? Or are renovations in the works for it too?

I agreed insomuch as it only works when it's a budget priority. It does not appear to be.

Oh what could have been

I should have asked this differently - was the offer to join the CAA extended at the same time as football? Or did it come up afterwards?

Do you know when the offer was extended? How does something like that play out?

Shame is so many ways ....

I seem to recall reading a previous thread but ... could someone refresh my recollection on whey we didn't move over to the CAA in all sports?

Heard recently that MJ had/has some Title IX concerns too (not related directly to tennis or the previous OCR investigation) and they were in writing. If Benson fired her for speaking out about it things are going to go to hell pretty quickly. Good god, could it get any worse?

Any word on whether Benson's contract has been renewed? It'll be 5 years in August.
