Two AE coaches looking at Ivies? Not sure if it's related but Brewster Academy isn't far from Dartmouth.

except there aint no chance hes getting anything from us

Most AEast schools are public schools that don't spend alot on their programs. They are also all hurting budget wise right now.

 

Despite what they may say publicly, Ivy's don't have that problem. Even despite the losses sustained in the last two years, Dartmouth's endowment is larger than the entire SUNY system's endowments combined.

What's the guess on how long it will take the "beat writer" to get this up on his blog?

[Dane96]

Beat writer...is beating his.........

 

No comment.

 

If Brown is offered 300k plus...he almost has to go. My issue with Dartmouth is their downgrading of sports over the past few years (hot topic here in New England) and the fact their gym, while similar in size to other Ivy's, is awful.

 

I think Dartmouth is a tough place to win basketball games.

If this happens...guy in the top chair should probably be looked at.

 

Not much in terms of progress being made any more.

[Dane96]

Guy at the top should have been looked at a long time ago. He has mismanaged this program (and has gotten damn lucky to have such respected coaches in about 7 sports (football, volleyball, lax, field hockey, track and field, men's hoop, and softball).

 

I said it from the get...did the same thing at Sac State and American.

 

But right now, it is a red-herring because this is more of the financial situation and upgrades being stalled by the State...rather than how McElroy runs the program.

Except he could have easily shifted the focus on funding the upgrades to private sources 5 years ago the first time the improvements got pushed aside.

[Dane96]

Yah...that is a given...no doubt.

[UA'08]

if he gets 300k from dartmouth hell is about to freeze over

[Clickclack]

To bad Jeff got run, I bet he'd be pretty entertaining right now...or not, just a thought.

Been watching the TU blogs...seriously where is Mark. He's getting scooped by EVERYONE. Maybe not scooped but you get the point.

 

Quality beat writing!

I really didn't see that coming.

 

What are people's thought on where Mcelroy should look for a new head coach? Are any of our old Assistants like Eaton or our current Assistants up for being a headcoach for UA? It might help keep recruits if we stick with someone in the UA family.
