WIVES ARE ONLY RIGHT WHEN THE HUSBAND LET'S THEM BE RIGHT! 
 
....... ......

Obviously the Queen has taken a vacation from reading the message board.   

I will comment on this from a business aspect (yes I know this is an educational institution, but the bigger picture is fiscal).

It seems that at this moment the breaking point has been reached. There is very little chance that this institution will survive in its current position considering the economic state we are in.  No one is going to open a credit line to assist an entity that is on a path to fail.  That means, they will continue to fail to meet debt obligations and face more situations as happened with Jordan Hall.  For most businesses in this situation bankruptcy is the only path, many of which have resulted in liquidation (ie Circuit City). 

With that being said, I think the only path is to sell off assets (buildings, equipment, etc); use those proceeds to pay off debt.  Consolidate the learning facilities and try a different path for educating students; I like the idea of shifting to an online format, it would cut down on overhead and allow the restructure to proceed.  They could easily change the academic offerings to fit the current economic environment (this could allow for them receive accreditation for the new offerings) .  With so many people being out of work, there is a real need for retraining and redeployment into other industries...this type of change would be looked upon as favorable from the federal gov, which might be willing to kick in money to assist. 

This is just a thought of a path forward, from all the news that has been released; what the administration is current doing is not working.  They also cant keep going to alumnus/community for donations, as the well will soon run dry.  If they don't do something soon, a fall semester will not likely happen.

Valid points!

JayT,

You may want to take another look.  There is a sighting of MB1 on page 7.


sharpy,

Thanks for sharing!   

Interesting.

Oh well......

Showdown @ Da Y's Crib! 

She cheated.  She covered her car. 

Actually that is NOT cheating.  It is called taking preventive measures and being proactive.   

They really need to rethink this. There are too many teams in this tournament. They need to have either the top 6 or 8 teams to play. This is crazy.


that's all...

Only the top 8 teams should participate in the tournament.  If your team does not put any effort in during the season, why participate in post season?

I had wondered if this was this part of a publicity stunt?   

I was wondering how y'all were handling the snow JT and Jaimac...

Managed to make it through the storm.  I was out traveling back to ATL in the midst of the storm - made it back safely.   

Actually the brackets for the tourney have been published.
