For Kennedy to say (with a picture of the presidents) we will win the Men's & Women's trophy in next years tournament, is like asking for a bunch of opposing fans to play ball with this statement a year from now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares about them? Most of them (those that actually care about basketball) probably can't read anyway so unless you make it into a picture story, the majority of them will be none the wiser. I like that he has high standards and hope he expects the same from the coaches and gives the athletic department the resources to back up his statement. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go @UofNorthDakota #UNDproud Can anyone imagine the boat load of posts this will produce a year from now? Central Florida, please! All the Presidents aren’t there. DenverU Prez is a woman. Abbott from USD just had a heart attack. Don’t think UNO’s Chancellor is there. Douple looks like a clown. Bresciani is shorter and trying to outfox the others. Schools that are endanger of leaving, like ORU, WIU, and IPFW, are usually at those meetings as they don’t want exit fees raised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godsmack Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Story in the Herald today about Kennedy’s interview. Small sample size quoted but the student rep who sits on the committee and asked how Kennedy would deal with a potential DACA issue at UCF and apparently he gave a “politician’s answer” that didn’t sit well with her.

Small sample size quoted but the student rep who sits on the committee and asked how Kennedy would deal with a potential DACA issue at UCF and apparently he gave a “politician’s answer” that didn’t sit well with her. Quote "I tend not to get involved in political issues unless they directly impact UCF and are a priority for UCF," Kennedy said, adding that he would apply two tests: "Is it directly related to UCF? And is my involvement going to make a difference? If it doesn't meet both those tests, I stay being president of the University of Central Florida, because that's what I get paid to do. And so you'll find that I am not anxious to engage in any political debate unless it meets those two criteria." His response was actually very good, and refreshing, in my opinion. A typical politician would have pandered to the young woman who asked the question. It does not appear Kennedy did that. His answer will probably end up working against him in the politically correct environment of higher education, but it was the right answer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, politician or not, what is wrong with this response?.... Some people need to get a grip. The guy is looking to increase his annual compensation by 1 million in the state of Florida at a school that just rag-dolled an SEC darling and 'claimed' a FBS National Championship... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawkota Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Kennedy is not going to make $1.3 million at UCF. Hitt's $1.3 million salary in 2016-17 included a one time retention bonus of $491K, something the incoming president is not going to get.

I have been told by a reliable source that his salary would be north of 1 million, plus reasonably attainable incentives that could make it 1.3. Even if I'm wrong, subtract the 491k from Hitt's salary and look where he's at. Having said that, my gut says he doesn't get the job.
