What grade do you give Sandy Barbour as PSU A.D. and why?

[dcf4psu]

It's like baseball where the pitcher leaves the game, but is responsible for the runner he allowed on base. She left but is responsible for whatever happens with Franklin. So it's incomplete for me.

A+++++

because that will upset people

What other championship trophies are meaningless in your opinion? Should we just manage to eliminate all non money making sports? That’s just myopic. It’s not a business, and shouldn’t be judged as one.

When a new line item appears on the semester bills I'll let you know.

Overall, I give her an A+++. Apparently ( I don't follow this type of thing), PSU was behind the other major ADs in admin size. Some have pointed out that she did an admirable job of playing catch up there. I also give her credit for her awareness of the dramatic increase in M2 and the Fed backstopping as a result of the pandemic. She obviously was on the pulse of all that and the effect it had on interest rates. This enabled the AD to borrow at favorable rates, assuming that they were borrowing as has been pointed out by some of our more perspicacious board members. She's always been one helluva borrower. I love her coaching hiring and retention decisions. Just wish that she could have paid them even more. Gotta borrow AND spend to make money. Heck Yeah! I would have given her a higher grade but she fell just a WEE bit short on fundraising for the Beaver Stadium renovations/new stadium pipe dream.

It is most certainly a business by every definition of the word
