Look, my wife and I love to be generous, and we give to worthy causes like St. Jude's , and others. But to give large amounts of money to Niagara University with its' track record is just money down the drain for me. I assume most of us on this forum live at least a "comfortable" lifestyle, and deservingly so. You know I NEVER once ate in the faculty dining room. I couldn't even tell you what it looks like. The kids use to say that they were getting nothing while the faculty feasted on "lobster and Lowenbrow" (exact quote). I was more comfortable around the kids than I was around fellow faculty. I hated the inside politics and all that associated crap.
The reason I posted the other day was because I came upon a Google announcement re: NU basketball's current state and thought you guys should know about it, no matter what.
I posted tonight because I believe that some reprobate referred to me as an "Adjunct Professor", which was incorrect; whilst also insulting me.
I can tell you that I never put myself above anyone. When I was teaching at Niagara, I constantly told my students to address me by my first name, as that was what I was most comfortable with. The only time I get on my high ass horse is when some one tries to demean my intelligence. That's the only time I flaunt what I have accomplished. I worked to hard and sacrificed too much to allow anyone to bring me down, intellectually.
I'm not trying to be wishy washy about staying on this forum. I am genuinely unhappy with what's going on with the NCAA, the courts, the NIL and the portal. I really believe that schools like NU have been so pigeon holed , that their seasons are determined to fail, ie, locked into losing seasons. Each season, one MAAC program will have the best of the worst recruiting year and win the Conference Tournament chamiponship and Dance. Niagara doesn't appear to be able to do this, and seems to be locked in to a losing season modality. This I can't take. There is just no joy in what has been determined by the current NCAA situation. Before all of this NCAA garbage, Niagara always had a fighters chance to have a winning season.It's almost like its' FREE WILL is gone, and what's left is , for all intents and purposes , DETERMINED !
