I did get the email at 1:30 but it went to junk mail.  I just found it (at 3:45) and tried to log on but it looks like it’s over.

I attended the meeting... a little late...attendance by fans was on the low side..I realize for the working fans hard to explain away this Zoom meeting

Points made....

• Great schedule...nice opportunities to play teams at our level plus the Syracuse game (a few points by others on this game)
• Players healing well from injuries...the decision to close down the season has proven to be the best move, allowing players additional time to heal
• Discussion about the NCAA giving players an extra year eligibility....comment from Greg...we are only going to 63 scholarship players...budget reasons
• More attention to players weight...too many players came in high side of their weight
• Fund raising.....the need for raising funds is critical .... the locker room is in need of renovation (last renovated 2001) ... recently recruits have commented on its condition....fund recruiting trips

Again, I wish more of our retired alumni attended.....please note points listed are those i heard and remembered

Yeah they really need to stop doing this at 3PM. I was in a meeting at that time and couldn't join.

I am retired and I rather have these meetings in the evening...however; it came up and without going deep into the story.... Gregg and his staff are enjoying time with their families in the evening during off season before the craziness begins again

I was glad I was able to attend. I would not have been able had it been at 7pm as I was at a baseball game then. 

They did allude to they would do others at different times

I was also glad to attend.  I sent a follow-up message to Coach G about fundraising for a new locker room as was done with the men's lacrosse team.  That was 100K if I remember correctly.  A new FB locker room would be several times that I would guess.
