Topic:  Cleveland caravan tonight? Author Message shabamon General User Member Since: 11/17/2006 Location: Cincinnati Post Count: 6,435 Status: Offline     Cleveland caravan tonight?    Posted: 4/25/2019 4:00:45 PM  It's tonight right? Busy day for Boals if so and he can make it. Slinging free coffee at Baker Center and hosting Javan White today. If you go, I have a question for Boals and Solich to pass along - Why are player transfers so rampant each offseason in basketball but nowhere near as bad in football, especially when it's more likely in football to be near the bottom of the depth chart for multiple years? What does Boals think needs to change in order for transferring to get a little more under control?

Players don't want to lose another year of eligibility to transfer. The grad transfer loophole kind of remedied that, but you don't see that used as much either.

Only three questions asked of Solich and no other speaker opened it up to questions. I would have asked your question of JS but he did not open the mic. Better turnout than prior years and nice to see more class of 2000+ types in the audience.

Agreed. Best crowd I've seen. There's still work to do. I wore an Ohio shirt to the clevelandfrowns.com draft party right afterward downtown. Two twenty-something Bobcats asked me if I went to OU, and I told them where I had just been. "Wish we had known!" was the reply. I guess I am glad they wish they had known. Anyway, fun event as usual.

Anyway, fun event as usual. It's an ongoing issue, in my opinion, with the Athletic Department as well as the University as whole. There needs to be a better way to capture the attention of new grads after they leave Athens. Part of it is that they have to want to, and some don't - heck I have old friends that live less than 90 miles away that haven't been to Athens in 12-15 years. Probably a bigger part of it is that people aren't made aware of things going on because they aren't on emailing lists, or, they simply don't use email much anymore. These events probably would get a better turnout if they were pounded on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook almost daily for the 2-3 weeks leading up to them. And maybe they are and I'm missing that, but I don't think they are.

And maybe they are and I'm missing that, but I don't think they are. I suspect that with newer grads, still trying to get a solid financial footing ( new jobs, student loans, new abodes, etc.), see something from OU, assume its a fundraising pitch and don't read or even open mail or email. Not letting the AD or University off the hook but more of a compounding effect.

If they didn't know, they've chosen a path of designed ignorance and I question their honesty when they say they wish they had known. There are ways to know things and they've chosen not to use them.

My wife and I have a tradition of looking at each other and cackling as one of us hurls it unopened into a wastebasket whenever her law school sends her a piece of mail.

I also got 2+ emails. gotta meet the program halfway, I'd say.

This is a blanket statement if I have ever seen one. People have lives and are obviously not as dialed into the university athletic programs as people on this board are. I can easily see how they were not aware of this event along with the other ones across the state.
