The Exploitation is Clear

We see a clear conflict of financial interest in the athletic director’s compensation; season ticket up charging, donor and gift giving efforts. We also have the attendance numbers detailing the decline of the Boston College fan base. Our losing is a result of what is indicated in the petition not because of the efforts of our BC student athletes.

The exploitation is clear -- money versus winning. Just look at the numbers of great coaches fired and or pushed out of Boston College. Our athletes have an arm tied behind their backs but this athletic director makes $600k to $1 million plus a year because he brings in big donations. One would think you can bring in tons of money and win but that is the failure of President Leahy and this athletic director.

We can hope forever to get the right person in that position to have the needed facilities to compete as a D1A power. Our philosophy must change to competing for national championships in all major sports.
