I want CPJ around our program as much as possible but he'd be pretty horrid at fundraising. Even the people who threw money at GC3 wouldn't give PJ half the resources he asked for.

Yeah... it was mostly a tongue in cheek suggestion.

I think being retired suits CPJ and I doubt he has the slightest bit of interest in being an AD. It's a real job and I don't think he needs one.

Having him around the program part time in some capacity would be great though.
 
If the ACC does eventually get splintered - i don't know how probable it is, but certainly is possible - we need to start forming alliances within the league and outside for a landing spot.
I say call the leadership at UVa and Va Tech, along with NC State, Louisville and SMU. If the Big Integer or SEC really are interested in poaching FSU, Clemson and maybe UNC, let's start looking at new alliances now. Get those institutions and maybe talk to some Big 12 teams - Arizona and Arizona State and maybe Oklahoma State too. Now you've got the DFW market, Phoenix and some of the West Coast, the DC market, the Triangle (and maybe the Triad and Charlotte too), Atlanta and kick the tires on a Florida school. Tell BC, Cuse, Pitt, Cal and Stanford - and Miami too - it was nice knowing you. Louisville brings cachet with its resurgent hoops program. Maybe ask Duke to come along too. Their basketball program does draw eyeballs across the nation.
You've got some good football programs. You've got some good hoops pedigrees. You've got programs with tons of money behind it (SMU and Oklahoma State). You've got some big TV markets. We can give the Arizona/Arizona State/Oklahoma State folks more East Coast exposure.
If the Big Integer and SEC don't want us - or may take us at their barebones terms and not ours, leaving us with scraps from Longshanks table - it's time to start talking to some others who might be in the same boat and form our own fleet.
I just don't see the Big 10 wanting or needing us and screw the SEC. Why not hold talks with other schools about forming a new league?

Could call it the NCC - Nobody Cares Conference. Terrible list of schools (outside of GT).

100%. He did a decent job. Just never seemed honestly happy to be here. Just a job. Talked to him on a couple of ocasions at Calloway,...underwhelmed describes it perfectly.

How could you be underwhelmed by Batt after having had to suffer through Stansbury, Bobinski, and Braine? Batt and D-Rad are far and away the best ADs of the last 25+ years.

He was not all in on GT. Want proof? He was only here 2.5 years…

Nobody actually saw Bobinski. Not sure if he was really the AD or just a Sasquatch
