Plans to renovate AH then AHY, lack of an effective plan to promote Stags basketball at AHY, chance to join Patriot Football then drop football, chance to join ECAC Hockey then drop hockey, watching Quinnipiac move forward with an agressive plan, the list goes on and on. We alumni should be dissapointed at the lack of leadership in an Athletic Department that seems to be moving forward without a plan or any strategy.

I agree that Fr. von Arx needs to address the issue of Fairfield athletics and soon. If it is all about money, then let's get another capital campaign going just for athletics this time. Get corporate sponsors to help. Look at Quinnipiac's website, their new basketball and hockey arena already has corporate sponsorship and half the "named" items are pre-sold already. Fairfield's last $150 million dollar campaign had money allocated for AH renovations that was not done. If we need hardware to get a game feed back to campus from AHY for internet broadcast, then let's have somebody do it now. If on campus sports can be broadcast, then do it. Have the administration find out what the alumni would want Fairfield athletics to be and do something before Fairfield falls farther behind UConn and Quinnipiac.
