I hate to say this but A football program at UAA will NEVER happen.

I agree. Nor is it (or was it) the plan to go Division I in all other sports.

There was never a D-I plan... which is what makes the arena so odd. 100 million + for a place to have graduation.

I think you will all be surprised when we go Division 1 in all sports... Exactly, you dont build this big arena to stay in D2. I am sorry but you will have to accept that! This AD was hired for this transition!

UAA has a new athletic director:

I was really hoping they would hire someone who had overseen a hockey program as well, but hopefully this will be a great hire. He certainly sounds extremely qualified and high energy.

Wow!!!!
Not sure what you folks are smoking.
Wolfman, look up the requirements for being a D1 program. Then tell us which conference we'll join.
Suze, his name is not followed by a Dr., his background is he coached baseball and football (we don't and won't have either), was involved with internal affairs and you call him extremely qualified.
Jeeezzzzz

I have already looked at NCAA requirements... For a long time now...uaa needs only 14 sports, with soccer programs will make 15... And we could easily join the WAC... It is not that difficult. Basketball boosters know this.

He was also involved in alumni and community relations (something sorely needed and Cobb was horrible at). He was an Associate AD who oversaw cross-country, track, volleyball, men's and women's basketball, and gymnastics. We had someone with a Dr. in front of his name and look at the shape of the hockey program under his watch. I am certainly willing to give the new AD a chance, and it seems you are not. That's a shame.

One would hope that a move to D-I is met with a commensurate command of grammar.

Ok we shouldn't be shocked that our new AD doesn't have shocked background. Honestly I don't think any of the previous ad's had a background in hockey.

Suze, who said I wouldn't give him a chance? Did somebody die and appoint you God?
I'm just not as impressed as you are with his credentials.
But then it's clear you're happy with anyone but Dr. Cobb. Why's that? Because he wouldn't kiss up to you? Or do what you wanted for the hockey program? Forget any rebuttal. Your position is and has been very clear. Anyone but Dr. Cobb. That's the real shame.

Yeah, the chances of us getting someone with a hockey background were pretty slim.
