Two WHOLE years??? ;D

[Aggie One]

Ok make that one year. I forgot it was FAMU we were talking about there for a second.

For some reason I always point out the obvious when we get to making fun of our hbcu brethren. But fellas, we haven't been the model of consistency in that area ourselves.

This is a quote from the N&R article when we shelved Dee Todd:

July 6, 1999: Alphonso Scandrett, most recently at SUNY Buffalo, hired as AD.

June 3, 2002: Scandrett fired as AD. Replaced on an interim basis by Roselle Wilson, vice chancellor for student affairs: ``The fit was not going to be the right fit at this point in time,'' Wilson said. ``Nothing was wrong. We're just going in a new direction.''

Oct. 11, 2002: Charlie Davis, a former Wake Forest basketball star most recently AD at Bowie State University in Maryland, introduced as AD.

Nov. 12, 2004: Charlie Davis fired as AD. "It is time for the N.C. A&T Athletics Department to move toward new directions in keeping with the university's overall vision, mission and goals," Renick says. Reginald E. Wade, associate vice chancellor for business services, named interim AD.

May 5, 2005: DeLores S. Todd, a 17-year administrator at the ACC whose duties included formation and organization of conference championship events, is introduced as the new AD at A&T.

Nov. 29, 2007: Todd reassigned to unspecified position in the university's School of Education, effective Jan. 14. Associate AD Wheeler Brown named interim AD.

We don't have the right.

Where is Dee Todd these days? I'm sure her contract has run out...

[Aggie One]

With the exception of Scandrett, at least there was just cause for those particualr firings.

[DOOMS]

Yet we still paid Davis after he was fired and we reassigned Todd (and I'm betting she's still on campus). Doesn't smell like just cause.

We just don't have the right to throw stones.

[Aggie One]

And they had to pay contracts out after the fact just like we did as well.

Geeezz we throw rocks, jibs, and jabs, and almost everything else you can think of at our own folks pactically everyday on this board in some shape, fashion or form, deserved or not.

You might be just a wee too sensitive my friend.

[DOOMS]

Not really. It just smacks of hypocrisy (and a lack of security in oneself) to laugh at somebody when you're dealing with the exact same issue. Never made sense to me, and never will. Now, if we ain't have the same problem, I'd be all for it...

[bluehaze]

I remember they interviewed Scandrett after Davis had been fired because the University was moving in another direction. He said something to the affect that "That's what they said after they fired me. How many directions can you go in?" ;D Then he threw in a jab about how he was still getting paid.

I think Renick had 3 AD's and 3 Head Football coaches on the payroll at the same time
