Out for the season - knee surgery -
We destroyed the NEC champs in CCSU - I think that is proof that we have left that league behind. CAA is where we belong. I'd rather have a chance at being one of 3 or 4 teams to make the playoffs than win the NEC and have little chance of moving beyond the opening round.

I think that much of the frustration and exasperation displayed on this board is that there is no chance of moving on from this coach if this season goes into the tank. GG has three more years on his contract - through 2022. There is no money to buy him out, he makes about 300k/year. Anyone got a cool million burning a hole in their pocket? It's not just the coach, it is the ineptitude of the leadership in the athletics department. -
Sadly Benson gave GG a contract through the 2022 season. So the buyout at the end of this season would be 3 years and around $900K. This season would have been his last u nder the original contract. Anyone know Benson's contract status - it may be year to year at this point - time to non-renew. https://dailygazette.com/article/2018/02/08/gattuso-signed-through-2022-to-coach-ualbany-football

Even the announced attendance of 5014 is horrendous. This was the season opener - all the complaints lodged in this thread have some validity. It was a beautiful day/evening yet the number of butts on the berm, in the bleachers and in the permanent seats was demonstrably and substantially lower than in the previous openers. You may not see it but the football game day experience is on a downward trend. That should trouble every one who cares about UA athletics.

I was a McElroy guy. Fundraising was by far his biggest negative. You have to ask people to give you money, that is sadly a big part of the job. Dr. McElroy presided over the growth of the most successful athletics program in the America East. That athletic success was never translated into financial success. There was no GDAC until Benson got here. Other than that we have seen nothing but incompetence out of his reign. Mr. Benson does not have the experience or the personality to run a D1 athletic program. After five years here all he has to show is that he created a fundraising group
