[QUOTE="TheFameProtector, post: 1343766, member: 517079"] To all those defending the actions of the staff as apart of the territory that comes with big boy recruiting - you are still missing the point. Regardless of the ethical issue, our staff played this really, really poorly. You don't hear about these things happening with big time programs because big time programs don't allow themselves to get into this mess, they make the reads earlier in the game and focus their priorities. We didn't, and it not only cost us a somewhat serious PR issue in the present but it also raises the question of whether this will effect recruiting down the road. Yes, we've learned our staff can get us in the door with the big boys. But we've also learned that they don't know how to navigate the puzzle on the other side of that door. Sure, winning will help repair some strained relationships. But BU's timeline for winning just shortened a lot. [/QUOTE]
