Yep, the basketball season kicks off in just 2 weeks and not a peep from the administration...no word of an exhibition game.

Not just that but the roster on PE.com has not been updated since June...no pictures of the players, no bios, no stats....and here it is October 21.

You know, just to remind you folks who have been sleeping since the 1960s, Niagara is not a sports school. It's primarily a college with a basketball program. The diversity today on campus which includes more than the make up of students by gender and nationality and the location as a commuter school doesn't become a part of one's everyday life.

Also, in the past the local businesses were more involved whereas nowadays, everything is dictated from within the walls of the school. They have some sponsors and perhaps with the P&W they raise a nice little amount of money, but it's never enough money because the one thing the school does best is ask for money.

The school is not concerned with "selling out the place" for basketball. It's not a priority and past experience has taught them that big crowds don't equate to big donations (Right, Eagle)? Still looking for your name in the Annual Report of donors.

So complain all you want to. It's not the worst run AD in the nation by NO MEANS. Buy the marketing is flat lining. That I will admit to.
