Hammer - don't be surprised if they ask you for a $22 million donation on the 19th.
By the way, the AD had been here for almost a year - has he done anything noteworthy during his time here?
Heilbron sold the naming rights to Stony Brook's arena for $7 million. That's two and half times more than what Albany got for their arena in 2006. He got stadium expansion and the indoor practice facility on the NYS spending bill. Yes it got vetoed, but he obviously sold our senior administration and local representatives on the idea. We don't know what donations to athletics over the last year have been, but that's supposedly his biggest strength. Our teams have had a disappointing year, but these are all Fiore's coaches and Heilbron wasn't going to have any effect on this years teams.
I'm pretty thrilled thus far.
