SU Athletic Director Candidates

[hoopsupstate]

Correction:

WE DODGED A BULLET.

I won’t count her out until they officially name a new AD.

 

[FloridaCuse]

Hopefully, but I'm not so sure. People can be stubborn with their desires with whom to fill certain positions.

Lyke was on the interview list and so was Nick caparelli. I know as much as Lyke has a few fans, a few other felt the opposite.

So glad her OTHER problems are coming out now (seriously, she had tons of problems at Pitt and some people with Syracuse thought she’d be a good hire? lol, so ironic that more workplace problems are coming out).

Basically Kent and the woman she went to law school with. I’ve been saying it for years everyone complains about certain people (coaches, players, how much $) but some of these people making decisions should have been let go or looked into a few years ago. Major credit to John wildhack having to deal with this behind closed doors.

Yes we can.

She's kryptonite. The Unviersity can't touch her now, in light of the circumstances, with the other issues / red flags hanging over her head from before she was tossed a lifeline by SU. It was misguided bringing her in, in the first place. She will NEVER be the Athletic Director here now.

I have way more respect for Wildhack after today

If things are as bad as they were at Pitt and as bad as in the D.O. article, I wonder if she is named A.D. that not only employees of the Athletic Dept. quit but some coaches do also. [shaking my head]. This could end up being a major article by The Althetic in the New York Times. We haven't heard the end of this. Have to wonder if the media in Pittsburgh picks up on the D.O. article.

Will Pete Thamel at the top end of the totem pole address this directly. He always gets fed the scoops.

I hope you’re correct. I can here the hire ups say that they looked into it and everything was unfounded.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Or anywhere else. It's not good when your dirty laundry gets aired in public.

 

[RF2044]

If this was a one-off issue, maybe. But she has lots of red flags.

And the fact that she stirred the pot here signifies that she is not suited to lead here.

Build Wildhack a statue just for this.

Guy put Cuse first. No need to put up with this garbage otherwise

 

[Newhouser]

As I stated earlier, nepotism

Who's she related to?

 

[Cusefan69]

I won’t count her out until they officially name a new AD.

Normally I would agree but when you get that sort of negative press in conjunction with the HR matter plus issues at Pitt. She has become radioactive and I see no way a new Chancellor takes that on day 1. She is done in my opinion.

 

[Bulldog04]

Like I said I told you there was gonna be more. I know who to thank for this article!

And never once aired the dirty laundry or pointed fingers. Dignity and class always - including his current "retirement."

 

[Scotch]

Do you think she is done Bulldog?

 

[Cusefan69]

Just saw this, agreed. She is radioactive now and no way the Chancellor wants to deal with that kind of issue starting day 1.

 

[Hawknate144]

Who's she related to?

she was law school classmates with a higher up in the chancellor's office, who is also mentioned in the article and report as being accused of covering some of it up.

 

[Newhouser]

She should have been radioactive before coming here. The decision making at the highest level of this University is insane.

If UConn and Georgetown could pick our AD and bball coach they would choose Heather Lyke and Mike Hopkins.

 

[Bulldog04]

A few of us knew this was coming out so we kept our complaints very general. The DO did a great job of laying this all out there. SHAME ON KENT for even bringing her in here. Sometimes I think the guy actually disliked SU. Which is why I have disliked him for a long time. She had no business being hired at an absurd amount of money that she did, come in and bring her stupid attitude along with it and be a pain in the ass for JW for no reason. And he was forced into the situation with her. So glad this is out and I feel bad for JW during all this. Gary Busey lookin ass

 

[sufan59]

Lmfao Jeff.

 

[Scott11]

If I have my facts straight, Heather:

1. Was fired from a peer school just a year ago
2. Is named in 6 lawsuits for "failing to act on Women's Basketball coach abusive coaching methods"
3. Spent $240 million on an Olympics sports facility that didn't have the proper funding at Pitt
4. Had a formal HR Complaint filed against her for "harassment, bullying, and abuse of power" in December while at SU

And SU *still* interviewed her today as one of the four finalists to run our school's Athletic Department?

I don't know how decisions are made on The Hill these days but the folks in leadership positions at SU have lost their collective minds.

Maybe they mistakenly thought she would satisfy the Rooney rule.

Kick her off the tour, Doug!
