Josh Whitless sucks. Can we all agree on that?
The last time we had a competent AD, the maintenance crew ran him out of town. The excuse was he enjoyed the same perks previous ADs had likely enjoyed. The real reason was they had been doing things as certain effed up way for decades. They failed and patted themselves on the back. Then here comes this pushy guy from CA changing the losing culture by force. He made plans and carried them out. Entrenched powers resented that.
I imagine after he moved in, people from the bus garage and stadium crew fixed his cars, shoveled his sidewalks, mowed his yard, and cleaned his pools. Same as they had done for others? It seemed like part of his package. Of course, had he been a saint, he would have made sure his accountant paid his taxes on the imputed value of the services? (Trump says fringe benefits are tax free).
Whitman is not an idiot. He knows UI athletics from an inside and outside perspective. He knows the internal challenges. He and Underwood already have basketball on court results back to its historic non sanctioned, non Bruced level.
Be nice if BB, Walters, and and Lunney could get FB back to the Stoner era direction.
