Can the legendary Notre Dame rival the legendary KU? Lawrence is a paradise location, an elite among elites, as is KU. Man, Notre Dame wouldn't have a chance.are you happy with this BMW? i've seen some who are pretty "meh" about it, wanting someone from a bigger school.
From what I've gathered, this is a homerun hire for KU. The only possible drawback is that Notre Dame goes after him once their current AD retires.

KU guys in the office said he was their 3rd or 4th choice. Tulsa AD is not exactly a model to build off of.

Hope for football officially ended Beems. Bubba is to Self as Frederick was to "I'm stayin"

I'd also like to throw my hat into the ring of people absolutely shocked that Beems called this a "homerun" hire.
From someone who knows a little bit about KU athletics:
"You have someone that helped put together marketing plans at Notre Dame. He helped negotiate shoe deals there. He helped negotiate the NBC deal and the radio deal with Westwood One. You have somone that worked very close with people in the Big East and Big 10 conference.
He was in charge of dealing with some of the most influential money people at Notre Dame in terms of boosters.
Then he leaves and goes to Ball State. He secures the largest donation in school history to help renovate their football facility. He hires Brady Hoke who wins a MAC title. He helped secure a Nike contract at Ball State
Then he goes to Tulsa and raises a lot of money there. He hires another successful football coach in Todd Graham who has won 25 games in three years.
He's worked in fund-raising, the numbers side of things, the ticket side of things. He has connections to people in the Big 10 and Big East. He is very well respected and has some pretty big names that back his abilities.
I've heard about a lot of candidates through this process and made a lot of calls on some of them. If they officially announce Bubba Cunningham as they guy I can tell you it is a hell of a hire.
The only drawback I can think of would be, is a couple sources have told me if Notre Dame needed and AD in the near future they would come looking at him."
On 810 today, Petro said that Bubba was a homerun hire, and that he was essentially Bill Self's hand-picked candidate. But, but, but... 3rd or 4th choice!!!!!
:thumbsup:
Is it just me or does Bubba sound like a sketchy as eff name. Bet you the guy back stabs and cheats his ass off, I'm a little :ohno: now

ku just came off having the dirtiest ad in the history of the conference and, by the time he left, ku athletics were a little dot in KSU's rearview mirror. They couldn't get any dirtier...

How bad is it that they have to beg and plead this small time guy to leave freaking Tlsa....and he balks like he is walking the plank?

one of the guys they hired, Brad Treliving, is the Assistant GM of the Phoenix Coyotes. The guy is 37 and has worked in hockey his entire adult life, never has worked in college athletics and got an interview. He was the former commissioner of the Central Hockey League.

I actually meant interviewed not hired, I'm a dumbass. They interviewed a 37 year old who has never worked in college athletics. JT's confusing posts are confusing because of my screw up.

Bubba signs extension with Tulsa. Spin it Beems.
Nah, I'm good.
gawd damn. our school literally can't do anything right anymore.
No Sh----t.! This sucks if we are unable to get a guy to come her from Tulsa . . .
Blame Mario, obviously.
MELTDOWN!

Word on the street is that Bubba changed his mind as soon as he found out his boss would be a black woman. He truly would have been a home run hire with that fan base.

BGL is incompetent. Everything has been pretty much a mess since she took over in August 2009.
What messes did he see that he didn't want to clean up? That's the question I'd ask. Is it just football or the state of the Dept. financially that kept him in Tulsa?

Well. Done.
Honestly, now that I think about it, I'm glad "Bubba" isn't KU's next AD. Definitely don't need the :opcat: :opcat: :opcat: element of KU's fanbase getting too riled up.

Other possible drawback, Bubba thinks Lawrence is a cachole. To be fair, he's used to the big-time lifestyle afforded to him in Tulsa.

As news hit that Colorado had left the Big 12 for the Pac-10, one day after Nebraska moved to the Big Ten, it didn’t take long for word to spread that Gray-Little dined Wednesday night with Colorado Chancellor Philip DiStefano, in town to evaluate university administration. They spent part of Thursday together as well. Yet, DiStefano didn’t share his school’s move with Gray-Little. Even if DiStefano was sworn to secrecy and didn’t want to jeopardize Colorado’s standing with the Pac-10, it paints KU’s chancellor as out of touch with her Big 12 peers.
When asked, Gray-Little said at her news conference Thursday that conference affiliations are decisions made by presidents and chancellors, who bank on the guidance of the experts, the athletic directors. Well, I find it difficult to believe that Perkins advised his boss to be schmoozing alumni in England when the Big 12 meetings were taking place in Kansas City. Perkins has been talking up the potential for conference realignment for months.
Whichever adviser told the chancellor it was fine to blow off the Big 12 meetings — after all, it’s just a sports deal and who really cares about sports, right? — needs to advise the chancellor to find a better adviser. Similar to her previous university, North Carolina, the basketball team plays a huge role in marketing the school. It’s not good when a chancellor or president places too much importance on athletics. It’s even worse when not enough importance is placed on it because in the long run that hurts the academic standing of the institution. Gray-Little should have maintained regular contact with her peers from the Big 12 and with peers from other possible future conferences for months.

someone should really call out fescoe. after lew's firing bob put out this absolutely ridiculous list for potential AD candidates kansas should go after (included the current AD of ohio st if i remember right). it was every bit the kind of list you'd expect from an egomaniacal kansas homer (did fescoe even go to school there? i've never been sure). Considering most kansas fans think like bob does, this bubba situation HAS to sting and sting bad.

Can also confirm Fescoe is married to my high school Health teacher who was fired my sophomore year for rough ridin' a senior on the swim team. That was pre-marriage though.Can confirm Fescoe actually attended KU. FWIW.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Fescoe
