I didn't see that article. Manhertz is a moron, especially considering the Bonnies made the NIT semis two years ago and there was tremendous student enthusiasm about it. They shouldn't have brought that up until the season was definitively over.
He said he didn't consider the fans. What the heck? That is a tone deaf guy who shouldn't be an AD.
The team whose mascot is the Patron Saint of fecal matter is in a poopy situation.
Ironic that is was reported on ESPN this afternoon. For some reason this morning I was curious about the teams who declined the NIT and saw St. Bona listed and thought wtf! Then I started googling and saw their student newspaper article. Yeah, their AD was a piece of work. He really thought St. Bona asking not to be invited wouldn't leak out.
He had to have been involved in the discussions and Bonnies Twitter is suspecting as much. I actually posted about this in the opponent tracking thread but this is probably a better place for it.
OD who?
The Bonnie AD resigned today, right?
Silly to decline another opportunity to extend the season. I'll never understand that. Winning the NIT would help catapult a team into the Dance next year. I'm pretty excited to be able to watch more games. He should have been fired.
