Way to go Sandy.
A lot don’t like you here, but you have done a good job. Our Athletics are soring.

Our A.D is the 13th most powerful woman in sports according to Forbes.
- Thread starter PennStateNate
- Start date
And ahead of her are Serena Willaims, Billie Jean King. Condoleeezaa Rice and eight other women you've never heard of. Whoop-de-fvcking-do.
Wow..good for her wish my name showed up in Forbes for any damn thing...well maybe not anything
The way Forbes does analysis, particularly in the fields of sports and education, it just might.
As stated previously, I'll wait until the announcement of Phase 1 of the Facilities Master Plan.
She'd better hope that the people raising money for her are better than those in the same functions for the University in general otherwise her Plan is DOA.
And you too can sponsor a urinal so that she can get a new scoreboard tv in her office.
My takeaway is that overall success of PSU athletics is being noticed. How much of it is truly attributable to Sandy, I'm not really sure.
The percentage of folks who have any realistic understanding of what a Major College AD does or doesn't do - and what their responsibilities and achievements are - would be a small minority.
The number of people who would have spent the time and resources to access information allowing them to intelligent address the performance of even TWO ADs, let alone every AD in the country (and include them in some "ranking"?
Cue "WRONG METRICS!!!"
You act like it's difficult to comprehend: hire a small army of beaurocrats to do your job, and then manage the bloat that is now indispensable and too big to cut. The primary goal of building a dedicated reason to keep costs artificially high is then achieved.
With all due respect, what does that have to do with her?
Someone else hired Franklin, Rose, Chambers, Sanderson, etc, all of which good ole Sandy never misses a photo op.
To date, she has hired a gymnastics coach.
She needs to address baseball, softball and women's hoops as a minimum.
Prior to her stewardship, we had been the top team in the Learfield for a couple of years.
Last two years, we have finished behind both OSU and Michigan and will finish behind OSU again this year.
Based on my long history of observing structure growth in the military, she has certainly mastered that aspect of it.
I will admit that I don't see all that she does or does not have to do, but color me as unimpressed.
I'm impressed with sandy's power......
ringing bells all over that university in State College.

IIRC from last year's presentation, specific designs for the elements of Phase I were to be unveiled in 2018 and construction was to begin on some of them.
Oh, Sandy knows what she's doing. That's the scary part.
It’s good publicity for the athletic department. I’d take it for what it is, and not worry about it.
Very clear illustration that there are not enough powerful women in sports......
Or that women, and men for that matter, with half a brain have a much greater chance of doing well in other professions.
