Skrosky will get two more years. I don't know this as a fact, just a feeling.
A couple of you mentioned the "culture" issue. If they truly care, this is something that needs to be thoroughly assessed and discussed by administration. Blank was hired as a fund raiser. I think he has done his job in this regard. I don't think Blank has quite developed the insight or the "fan perspective" needed to effect winning programs at a school like Elon. If someone were to ask me what the next move for the athletic department should be, I'd say get Allen White in ASAP for a week or more and pick his brain. I'm not saying that Dr. White was perfect, but boy, he oversaw some very successful programs & coaches. He also knows how to treat people.

BTW, Ruffin McNeil would be a coup for Elon.

Not to keep harping on this, but here is part of "Sports Culture" issue: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR852YLpwEk . Basketball and volleyball are mentioned LAST as uses for the Schar Center.

If I hear one more person mention Blank as a fundraiser I'm going to puke.
The guy does not do a thing. We are lucky to have two great guys that handle it for Elon.
Blank is anti-social.

What has Blank funraised for? The facility upgrades that have been made under him have been nothing but extremely needed. Softball played in a glorified city park field before HuntPark. Basketball plays in a YMCA gym which needed to be replaced about 20 years ago. And soccer had a gazebo as its press box. Now what we have and going to have is great but really we are just catching up more than anything.

No underclassmen will leave? Where will they go and who is going to take them? Remember if they transfer they lose a year of eligibility.
If anyone believes a freshman or sophomore on a full ride is leaving you have zero common sense.
Regarding the coaches, if rich stays they must hire a legit OC. If not, 0-11 is in play next year.
The only folks in the stadium will be parents, security and the band.

No argument with this. Maybe what I should have said is that Elon has done some great fund rasing during Blank's tenure. As I said, I'm not an insider, I just know what I've seen from the outside.

But yea it's highly unlikely they transfer to D1 schools. I'm sure a kid or two will leave but most likely they will have been walk ons.

Embrace the Grind? Perhaps time for a new motto, as well ... something a little more uplifting.

Lol, if u think kids r not transferring if he says u r sadly mistaken. With a losing record again, next yr recruiting class not looking great so far and with the mass exit awaiting. This program will be a bottom dweller for many yrs to come...

These kids might transfer, might not. Most of these kids would have a hard time selling themselvest to anyone but a D-II, D-III or NAIA. High school tape doesn't matter anymore

They aren't going anywhere. Not too many families would gives thumbs up to tossing a full ride into the trash.
