That is not fair of you to ask that of him. Some of us have sources that we do not want to risk Whatever man. Rationalize it anyway you want to. What The Cats said above is exactly right. I am done with this topic. Geez. Ok....

I'm sure the source would have told you to put it on the message board and reveal your source if that's what they wanted...if they didn't do that, you should keep it to yourself. If you know something that the general public does not know, and you share that information on this board, or twitter or Facebook without sourcing, you're asking for criticism when failing to name your source. This is not a newspaper, and the posters are not reporters, so there is no constitutional right to keep your source, expect folks to doubt your information and be critical your post. Better to keep it to yourself.

Unfortunately, this is what you get when you hire young coaches, on the ladder upward. If they pan out, they are gone in 3 or 4 years and you start all over again.
CCU's basketball budget is twice what the Catamount men's basketball budget is, money talks every time.

Dang you’re hateful aren’t you. Sorry I joined a board to spread my knowledge. Seems you would rather be blindsided than recognize the truth. No need to get mad everytime someone says something you don’t like. No I am a lot of things but I am not hateful. I am never hateful and never rude no matter what you think. I do know that you and another poster always look at the negative side of everything and what you post are unsubstantiated rumors. Most all colleges lose money on athletics. That is not new. Also, I am not mad at anyone, but if you are willing to post on a message board that our AD has mismanaged the budget, I think you should be willing and ready to post your sources. It’s not a secret. Talk to any employee within the department or university advancement. It has not been a secret that we are struggling. We just cover it up with positive PR. We don’t announce that the budget was severely off. They have essentially eliminated the fundraising branch of the department. What do you expect the numbers to look like?

I’m a Catamount Club Member, WCU Alum, Season ticket holder, and proud supporter. So What do I win by making up “rumors”? I’m posting it on here because I’m tired of people being in the dark, being lied to, and not held accountable.

I now understand why I have not heard much from the CC staff or when I called them to ask about my parking spot for football it was like pulling teeth to get a hold of someone

I now understand why I have not heard much from the CC staff or when I called them to ask about my parking spot for football it was like pulling teeth to get a hold of someone I was actually in the athletic department office last Monday. It was spring break, the administrative assistant was out and not everybody was there. I was lucky to get 15 minutes from two of the staff members, given the preparation for the baseball tournament and the two basketball tournaments.
