Punish the school? You continue to make no sense. He said give to the general fund. Apparently you like to give money to things that do absolutely nothing for you. Nothing. Why would anyone in their right mind continue to give money to a program that only loses, is arrogant (still trying to figure that one out) doesn't communicate with anyone, on and on and on and on.

I need someone to explain this mystical world where Canisius has all this prestige and resources, without people giving Canisius significantly more money.

There is nothing to explain. They've already blown it. I have a better question. Do you honestly believe that people should be expected to blindly give money and have faith that things will get better for a program that has had 6 winning seasons this century? - due almost entirely to the Baron family. And even during those years and despite his gruffness, Jim Baron would begin every single pre and post-game interview by saying how floored he was at the lack of fan support. Imagine his response to what is being allowed to happen now.

His EXACT words:

"I'd rather give my money ($1000 yr) to the food bank or spca next year."

So if he does exactly what he says he'd like to do, that's not punishing the school for the actions of an individual?

You really are a moron. His EXACT words were "donors like us we should give our money to the General Fund next year". And so what if people did punish this cluster school who allows an "individual" to sit on the bench and in some weird way be a part of anything after he quit on his team? Dumb ass!

When you give less money directly to Athletics, what do you expect to happen?

Don’t let our frustration boil over on each other. We are all frustrated. I’m actually going to send the AD some names for a search. The department might not be thinking that but they should. Siena is ready to run their coach on a rail. Sending over some names also sends the message that enough is enough. Go Griffs!

Again, his EXACT quote:

"It's a disgrace and for the donors like us we should give our money to the General Fund next year. Or stop giving to the college. I'd rather give my money ($1000 yr) to the food bank or spca next year."

"Giving to the general fund" was one of three options. The other two involved not giving at all, which punishes the school for the actions of an individual.

I realize reading comprehension is difficult for many old men like yourself. The mind wanders and has a hard time focusing.

But old man or not, the first rule of life is, "Don't be a dick." It's not that hard an approach to live up to, but you fail miserably in almost every interaction with anyone on this board.

And again, in your scenario, how does giving money to the "general fund" or SPCA, etc., help improve anything in Athletics? I understand and share frustration, but I don't understand how less resources can translate into more success.

Who are you going to hire for the same or less money? Who can you keep for the same or less money?

My problem isn't comprehension. It's this advanced version of math here.

If you think giving 1k entitles you to walk up to an injured player and have him tell you what’s wrong with him, then you’re out to lunch. I know Canisius doesn’t have a lot of donor support, but why would anyone think they’re entitled to that inside info.
