Re: St Francis College-- Sports

I share your concerns. In 2007 at thr time of the last campaign the university produced what was called the next phase of the campus plan. It was published back then in the alumni magazine. While it carried an asterisk that elements could change, it seems the plan was simply discarded. The plan esse...

Re: St Francis College-- Sports

Brooklyn College is part of The City University of New York, a SUNY extension so they are financially sound. I mentioned five out of six cousins going to St John or St Francis, the other went to Brooklyn College. The CUNY schools started open enrollment decades ago and have been popular with the gro...

Re: St Francis College-- Sports

Miami dropped its basketball program from 1971 until 1985. Very different times. St. Francis fell victim to the demographic change of Catholics and Brooklyn. There was a time when Brooklyn was home to a very large Catholic (and Jewish) population. Once independent from NYC it was labeled the “City o...

Re: WILLIS REED PASSES AT 80

Back then there was a GM, Eddie Donavan, a Bonnies guy and a coaching staff which consisted of a head coach and an assistant. Dick McGuire, Al’s brother. The back office was a press guy, a PR guy, a guy who ran the box office, a guy who sold season tickets and a guy who handled group sales (aka me) ...

Re: NU and "The Portal" / Moore & Kiner

This should be no surprise to anyone. First every player who was around for the ‘19-20 season got an extra year of eligibility, so most graduates will still be able to play next year as grad students without sitting out. A first time transfer can do the same without sitting out. If your coach leaves...

I was working for the Knicks at the time and remember the moment very well. The Knicks began their pre game warm ups without Reed, suddenly out of the mid court tunnel he appears and the entire Garden erupts. It was a great night for the Knicks and New York.

Re: FDU’s Tobin Anderson Iona’s new Coach

I guess the question will be how well can he recruit at the Division One level? Perticularly, now that NIL is in place and retaining “star” athletes at the mid major level will become more difficult. We now live in a competitive world where every one can cheat (I mean use NIL) and pending on a schoo...
