I did not read Scotty’s post as saying the admin is confident next season will be their last. Like you say, if you already know your going to fire them, keeping them for a season is stupid. But I read the post prior to yours as saying they have 1 more chance. Not sure that is the right move, but it is definitely a Bucknell like move.

Yes, extremely stupid. And if Truax thinks the situation will suddenly turn around, then he probably should be fired also. My guess is that he knows ND should be fired, but he doesn’t have the clout and/or intestinal fortitude to get it done.

Watching the tourney? If you squint, you can pretend Cal St. Fullerton is Bucknell, trying to end Coach K’s career. Not looking great early, but hey.

If admin is confident next season will be the staff's last,.that makes keeping them on for 22-23 doubly stupid.
The buyout cost to fire ND is chump change compared to all the money BU spends on the athletic budget. And all the money BU will loose in 22-23.by keeping the staff on.
Amen to that!

My two cents...
My son was accepted to Class of 2026. But he didn't even give Bucknell much consideration due to the situation with the Basketball and Football programs. He will be participating in both at another PA Liberal Arts College.
