Maybe JD’s parameters to “save Furman baseball” will be more lenient than those I suggested already: those who want to “save Furman baseball” need to present a donation of $100,000,000, half of which would be for baseball endowment and the other half for women’s athletics or whatever else Furman would choose to use it for.MetroMizzy wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 8:06 pmJust a quick update. We are all trying to handle this with grace and humility (although it might not seem like it sometimes) which is the only way we have a shot to save the program. We've had several calls with JD and Trustees. I will tell you this: take that press release with a grain of salt. I'll provide the real facts to the backstory when it's appropriate. JD was extremely candid last Thursday on a call. We have one shot to do this and do it correctly and we don't need anything put out on social media to screw it up. JD is developing a plan and presenting it to our "advisory board" or whatever you want to call it, I believe, on Thursday. This plan will provide parameters for us to work within to save Furman baseball. At this point, we have no idea if it's feasible...but we're going to try.
If you're on twitter please give @SaveFurmanBSBL a follow and retweet anything you feel would be appropriate. You will see a consistent message which lines up with what I've been posting on here which might clear up anything that I may have not so eloquently attempted to say. There is also a group on Facebook but I don't utilize Facebook.
Sidenote: If TB12 is a 6 handicap, I could have played golf at Furman...yeah right.
I certainly agree that consistently exuding grace and humility and sincere caring for Furman as a university (rather than just caring about a vocal minority’s preferred athletics endeavor) are also vitally important.
