The reason he got a one year extension is because he went to the AD's office after the season and told him "this team is ready and capable to win this year we had 8 ineligibles let me just have one more year so that all of the girls can play and show off the talent and power of this team"

(These aren't yours from Scott or Fred this is just what I was told he said, so I am quoting my sources)

One of my sources said that Scott is not willing to do a national search for a coach
He already has a coach so why should he go and look for one
(When my source said this, I am not going to lie I threw my phone)

I really dislike Scott now
Because before the season, Scott decided he was going to let Fred go
His contract was up and he was a pretty poor coach
But now he is showing that he is spineless

That's all extremely disheartening.

My fandom of the WBB is officially over.

Truly hope the best for the ladies on the team.

Totally agree it defies any reason. Why would a recruit come in here and play for a coach with a one year life preserver.

Edified...while I value the input you provide here, I am not a fan of anyone coming to this forum and calling EMU staff members (Athletics staff or others) names. Disagreeing with their actions and positions on things is fully acceptable and contributes to the broadness of discussions here. Calling people names demonstrates a level of immaturity and disrespect for the forum that can only lower the level of discussion. I know EMU Athletics staff monitor this forum regularly...you might find your inside contacts with Athletics cut off and the forum would then lose the valuable info you regularly provide.

I notice people don't like that I call them names
I will stop doing that if it makes people more comfortable

I’m not a fan of Wetherbe - he absolutely gets no credit for the resurrection of the football program - give that praise to Lyke for hiring CC.

In my heart, if Lyke were AD, EMU men’s basketball would be ascending and hovering at the top of the conference.

If I had $$$$, my first philanthropic donation to EMU would be a new AD

He may not have hired CC, but the big money for the SAPC left when Lyke and co. did.

Though it was delayed and ended up being smaller than originally mapped out to be, it still got done and immediately put us at the top of the league as far as facilities go.

I'm not saying we build a statue for the guy, but he's been adequate.

You may have more inside information than me, but from what I understand CC helped keep the momentum for the SAPC. Sure Wetherbe altered the business plan that Lyke created but the vision Lyke had for EMU was far more than any EMU administrator ever envisioned. Lyke taught EMU that we can be good in football and expect EMU to get to the top. Many, many, many administrators fought against Lyke (ie Bunsis) but she and CC were undeterred in working her plan. She left for a greener ($$) pasture and I’m so grateful she hired a great leader for our football program. CC is what’s Keeping EMU from being the laughing stocks of the league.

He is kinda bad at his job
The SAPC is kind of a failure (Not a failure for athletics but a budgetary one)
Let me explain

The building cost $20 million
$8 million was to come from the general fund
Then the rest from donations
That's $12 million in donations
Scott got only $6 million in donations
Why?
Not because he didn't try
But because Power2Change pulled their $6 million out
Why?
Because they didn't feel confident in him
One member of the Power2Change foundation said "Heather's departure is leaving me very concerned on many fronts as we feel very limited in our/my contacts/details at the University. Not at all comfortable here with the chain of events and timing,”
BTW that quote is from an EMU Graduate

The money did eventually come just not from Power2Change
GameABOVE paid the rest (God Bless Them)

If EMU Grads don't have trust in him why should I
Now I was a 'supporter' until this new contract
It is the straw that broke the camel's back

I have been rather lukewarm about Scott. Progress has been made re the SAPC golf complex new stadium lights and getting GameAbove to do a Convo facelift. He was brought in to raise $$$ and move it forward. On the negative side we can't get the little things right like concessions, the way he claimed he was ambushed about the budget and forcing to cut sports before he took the job seems bogus to me. While cutting baseball might be necessary it will not be popular to many alums. We face big challenges about the stadium and indoor practice facility and finding $$$ to improve those.

I'm not going to disagree with your sentiments and conclusions.

That said, can you educate me on how Power2Change and Game Above differ? In my eyes, they both lean heavily on Keith Stone's largess.

Jerry, you disappointed me.

They both heavily use Keith's money but they are different in many ways
Power2Change is a charity that Keith solely runs
Technically, he has people that do the day to day work but anything they want to do funding wise can be struck down

GameABOVE is a group of people that have put money in a fund for EMU (A lot of it does come from Keith)
That group of people decides what happens with the money
So if Keith were to say no on something that another member wanted to fund or do, Keith alone couldn't stop it
He would need a majority of the members to say no in order for a project to be stopped

Basically, they have different power structures
Power2Change is one guy who decides things so like a company
GameABOVE is multiple people deciding things so they are like Congress
That's the simplest way to describe it
