Yeah, I agree. Why do people seem to be reluctant to challenge D.T.? If she can't advance athletics, then how about gettin' up outta here?! Administration...Aggie Club...what are YOUR standards? The A.D. position at our university should not be a place to chill and wait on retirement...not at that salary range. What's up...?

www.bluedeathvalley.com/exintv_deetodd_10_13_06.htmlIf you haven't already read her interview maybe you should check it out. I've had no problem challenging her because I didn't think her viewpoints were consistent with those of a successful minor d-1 program. But on the other hand it ain't like homegirl begged to work for us. It's the other way around. I've gotten weary of begging and lying to people to get them to join us only to spit on their a$$ when they give you what their resume said they would. She's doing the exact same thing she did in her other athletic director positions. I'll let y'all figure out what I mean. In any event, she's here, she's ours, folks were fighting to line up and kiss her behind when we got her, so we might as well get some more chapstick and keep kissing. If you really want to know what she's about call or e-mail her. She's generally responsive.

...Great feedback, DOOMS...hence, the question I posed to Administration & Aggie Club. I think the goals & the vision should be clearly POSTED for all to see. It shouldn't require a phone call, but thanks for the advice. By the way, the kissing references were just a bit much right at lunch time.

I didn't know that the function of the Aggie Club was to assist in the hiring and firing of folks. Their function is to support athletics. The administration hires and fires. However, some major, major contributors may have some influence, but administration make the calls on hiring.

We can put FUNDRAISING on the AD. The AD should develop a comprehensive plan for A&T athletics for the next ten years or so. The plan should at least include fundraising goals, sponsorships plans, revenue and spending profiles by programs, staffing requirements, facility enhancements etc. However, we don't have the infrastructure or the human resources to plan and implement a consistent and effective fundraising campaign that would include fans, alumni and sponsors at the athletic department level. The current athletic department's staffing level is probably based on day-to-day operational activities, and doesn’t include the any staff to layout and implement a strategic plan for the future. Fundraising can’t be a part-time volunteer organization. Just look at the infrastructure for the Office of Development and they only get a return on 15% of the alumni. This is significant among HBCUs, but far below PWS giving level. It's not clear to me other than the Aggie Club if there is any actual fundraising solely for athletics within the University.

either the AD can get the job done or not.... no one cares if the coach has resources when he gets fired from "T" why should the AD be treated any different...
but if there is a fund raising plan... does anyone know what it is???

Some of you act as though this program has a lot of money. You can only do so much with little resources (dollars).
We have to be realistic! Fundraising is fundraising... Regardless of the scheme, folks just need to give.

Regardless of the scheme, folks just need to give. What program are you referring to in this thread? You have to be innovative sometimes when doing fundraising. Try fundraising for A&T in Virginia. If 50 percent of the alumni in VA would give back it will make things a little easier.

Regardless of the scheme, folks just need to give. I agree with your first statement. With the resources available in the AD how can we expect fulltime fundraising activities? Even if a plan was put forth how would it be implemented? You have to have soldiers on the ground. The "scheme" as you call it, is the key, but if "Fundraising is fundraising" why don't people give?

I wonder if the Aggie Club is the fund raising entity for the athletic department? See Aggie Club website.

The Aggie Club is one of the fundraising avenues for athletics. The Victory Club is the other (although most of us have never seen any use for this organization) aside from the fact that theres no need for two fundraising organizations at one university for one department. All that crap about doubling our coverage and doubling our efforts is t-total garbage..but to answer your question, yes the Aggie Club is a fund raising source for athletics
