Ben Jay: ‘If I knew more, I may not have taken it’

[808Hawaii]

And remember Jay said that Chow is a great coach.

Some stuff BJ said in his resignation speech:
The football team made sufficient progress. He knows great coaches. He knows we have the right person. 4-9 is an improvement from where we came from (Didn't we come from 6-7?). Proud of what he accomplished in two years – making sure the athletes have a great experience, counselors, made strides in facilities, and program is in better shape than what it was like when he first got there.

BJ thinks we're ignorant, we don't know any better.

And use that as a reason to raise tuition.

So even more kids can not afford college.

Who said anything about raising tuition?

I gotta agree with this.

Ben Jay only reinforced what JJ dealt with, why he left and why Rocky Freites was smart enough to not apply for the job. Whoever took it would have failed because the support just isn't there. Unless the budget was increased significantly to deal with additional travel costs, recruiting costs and doubling the athlectic/activities fees it is a no win situation.

No one. Raising tuition has become an easy answer when University talk about budgets. Arizona State just started charging all students a $150 "Athletic dept fee." University of Arizona has not. Admins will find a way for more $$$ when no one wants to give an inch. Screw the students first.
