Do they realize the damage they've done?

I think they probably do care...now. From what I hear (which is word of mouth and nothing official) Wake Will is not going well at all. Wake does care about the money and always will.

that might be related to it having a really stupid name.

If that's true, why wasn't he canned after the GT loss? After the BC loss? After the Pitt loss? Today? Stop the bleeding!

Yeah. "Wake Will." Two words associated with death.

 

[Marietta Deac]

Which calls into question the basic intelligence of the people running the university.

Which correlates to the size of my current and future donations.

 

[Duncan]

Yeah. Naming a capital campaign with two words associated with death just isn't very bright.

its that, or an action term without finishing the thought. Wake will what? WHAT WILL WAKE DO?

there's also just the obvious "put wake in your will"

Wake Will but I won't

Any of those. That's what happens when using two words that are both a common verb and noun with several different meanings.

We will know if they care if the Tuesday presser is accurate and Buzz is gone. If retained, they only care about their agenda with the fans and most contributors being irrelevant.

the premise of this thread is idiotic. yes the buzz era has sucked ass but this is basketball you are talking about. pretty sure that ultimately college is supposed to be about academics? am i wrong?

I can't believe "several classes of wake students may leave with no allegiance"!!!! My god, the horrors of it all. Say it ain't so! On the list of things that people in this world give two shits about, can you give me an estimated ranking of how devastating this will be?

Yep. Somebody like Colonel Angus can just throw away money to Wake, but I can't justify spending money on a university whose most obvious expenditures are on poor leadership. What other Bzdeliks are cashing checks from MSD?

 

[Duncan]

i know they have a good marketing department. Did anyone vet this? I would have loved to have been in those meetings. "Its obvious! Wake Will cash your checks. Who wouldn't get this? This is a great suggestion coach [Redacted]. well done!"

in 5, 10, 25 years, I am pretty confident that Wake as an institution will be just fine. In fact, I'm pretty certain that is the case today. Nice touch on the OSU comment, such an original concept when there is no counter point that can be made.

I'm sure you're a fan of the OSU Physics department, right?

Talk about damage, we're lucky to have a school after the 70's and 80's.

In all seriousness, I may like their Sociology Department more than their Athletics Department.

Dillon may be on to something.

I don't come over here often... but is this post real?

Good point. Doug Downey and Vinnie Roscigno are studs.

Well, we have a president who can't seem to grasp the name of his current employer. Not saying that speaks directly to a level of intelligence but it certainly seems to speak to level of genuine interest in his current job.
