Hopfan and 51% literally misrepresented facts. What i am unsure of is whether they lied or just gave way to base impulse.
What are you talking about? What specific fact did I lie about or misrepresent? You can't even spell so to take anyone to task for being off by a year or so of when Calder/Shanahan/Baker was the AD is as they say "Rich"
The only thing I can remember saying about Calder is that if he got forced out that was unfortunate and I have no knowledge of any of the details
What I said about Shanahan were a few things:
- The overall Hopkins athletic program was very successful during her brief time - whatever years you want to classify
- She parlayed that Hopkins AD job into a bigger job at Hopkins and then a bigger job at her alma mater Penn in short order - so she apparently ain't stupid
- Now read carefully OC - we know you have trouble with this - but she did not appear to have influenced Petro's recruiting - they allowed the verbals to essentially 8th graders and high school freshmen AND the vast majority of those who verbaled showed up and there is not one famous instance of a commitment being denied admission - this does NOT mean that Petro got every recruit he wanted
I did not comment much about the NCAA infraction at all - I thought the textbook thing was stupid and I have an opinion that Petro played a role - here is exactly what I posted on May 31st:
"Maybe Alanna should have identified that an appeals process was missing and a deadline was missed but the incessant juggling that was going on was created by someone else and we all know who that was.
Another small turd left on Milliman's desk to clean up. And given that the worst infraction appeared tied to the men's program - missing a renewal letter deadline and this "carry the one" on the textbooks (that one is on the AD and staff) appear very puny - I wonder if Janine is wondering what the license number of the bus was."
By the way - none of that is fact -it's opinion.
