@BobPSU92 your favorite is back in the saddle again.... What is the over/under on the amount of money she spends before she moves aside?

Has anyone been more successful at ‘failing up’?

Truly, words fail.

USC, as a private school, can (IMO) do whatever the hell they want. But no single executive action could more clearly illustrate how completely out of touch with reality higher education "leaders" have become - how unattached to sensible management they are, and under the complete control of reflexive conforming herd idiocy.

 

[BobPSU92]

This is what we’re up against.

I figure the first order of business is to increase the budget to immediately hire 50 new associate AD's...

Kevin Weiberg, another member of that dream team USC has assembled. Someone must really like the way he sucks dick.

Very well said... I was stunned and at a loss for words when I saw this

Well, hopefully, she quickly takes the football team down a notch by taking some of their money and giving it to the swimming teams by building them a new pool

Nobody will ever say that about Sandy.

Good thing she’s credited with the wrestling titles that are all Cael, and the soccer and volleyball titles that came in her first year and never again, with both programs becoming lesser during her tenure.

Laugh all you want but she will see the college football playoffs before Franklin.

As an interim?? I doubt it.....

Not the way USC plays defense, 46 points to Tulane- good luck with that.

 

[HarrisburgDave]

First, I don’t know what pronoun SB uses so I will use SB to identify him/her/them/they or whatever rather than cause offense.

Second, SB has the resume you would want if you were USC and you needed an AD at this time.

Lastly, those of you who criticize SB about budgeting should understand you have to spend money to spend money.

Sandy’s leaderer got-thisness aside, I wonder how much usc is spending on this interim leaderer team as opposed to doing the conventional and hiring one person as the new AD.

AD by committee. When you have four ADs, you have no AD.

IIRC, her comp increased by somewhere between 50-100% when PSU hired her after she was fired by Cal. She's probably trying to duplicate that feat.

So why did usc hire this interim leaderer team? Is it because their athletic department has been a sh|t show for several years? Besides getting bohned, sark was a drunk. Previous AD mike garrett got sh|t-canned years ago after their football scandal. And the athletic department had that admissions scandal a few years ago. They‘ve made some bad hiring decisions.

They hired a search firm to hire Clay Helton - who was not only terrible, but also already on the staff. They also hired Lynn Swann to be AD - which was his first job as AD. You can’t make this stuff up.

I always assumed that Swann was a figurehead and his main purpose was to raise $.

They need to put OJ in charge and just get it overwith already. Heads would roll if that happened. 🫨

Replaced Garrett with Pat Haden who presided over another **** show.

Holy F. Penn State made sure she is set rest of her life with her retirement benefits that came with making her a VP.

Now USC is going to add to her parachute. She is good at getting $$$ for herself for sure. Too bad she is not as good with donors.

She was a diversity hire. It’s that, or Penn State is terribly incompetent. There is no other way to spin hiring someone essentially fired for incompetence from the same job at a less demanding school, noting it could be that Penn State simply *is* terribly incompetent….

I'm going "incompetent". They (PSU BOT) have a history...

You just may be onto something with the incompetency suggestion. If only someone, anyone had brought this up when SB was at PSU.

I still say that, down the road, we will look back at Sandy and barren as Penn State’s golden age.

You fail a lot at posting. Of course, that is your intent.

Hopefully SB will implement her NIL model at USC real fast.

[BobPSU92]

Bronny James recently committed to usc. It’s plainly obvious that Bronny and dad made this decision upon hearing about Sandy’s new post or Sandy’s hire was one of their demands.

If Sandy doesn’t leave PSU, Bronny is ours.
