I suspect everyone here knew there'd be no accountability...which is how this happened in the first place. Yes, everyone makes mistakes. Some, however, make more than others, and some make bigger ones than others. This one was such a whopper that systematic processes at most organizations would've prevented it. The Athletic Department needs an overhaul top-down. The overhaul needs to include new leadership, a staffing and budget review, and a review of decision making processes. The Athletic Department had a >$14.5M budget in 2016....and this is what we get? Ticketgate could flip from another Athletic Department scandal, and instead become an opportunity for improvement.
Look at our AD's record. Look at FB since he took over. We've given up on MBB because we are a "FB school"...even though we know this is the only the second playoff appearance in 17 years for the "Team of the 90s." Renewing Heacock's contract, Hill, Martin, Slocum, FB attendance...missteps which all deplete revenue generation and create a vicious cycle.
YSU FB's appearance in a National Championship game could be parlayed into something bigger but only if the right ppl are involved.
Before any apoplectic responses are posted...a reminder that we, as an alleged advanced species. can cheer as well as question.
