A lot of truth in what many have spoken about in this thread..
Madique thought he could win without spending money and realized that he couldnt. The football budget now is significantly larger than the one before. Strock and Mello would get told no when they asked for things and it frustrated them.
Pete Garcia was Butch Davis' Bee-otch at Miami then with the Cleveland Browns. His main job was to snitch. It's going to be interesting to see what happens because Pete is in here demanding money and getting it so were gonna have to see if that helps.
The poster who brought up all the um people coming over here is right on the money. Its ridiculous that people with 6 MONTHS of working experience are now Associate and Assistant AD's... He filled Men's soccer fromo within because Miami doesn't have a soccer team, he hated Karl, and he wants to drop soccer after the season. What coach out there is gonna take that job.
The only people he knows are people affiliated with um and 90% of them are hispanic.
Pete is a prick, dont get it twisted. There's a right way to do things and he has shown respect to nobody from day one. He is going to get his, trust that.
Pete has a few problems on his hands. #1- He has just given all these jobs to UM people without posting the jobs and giving others a chance to apply. That is going to catch up with him very shortly, trust me people are already looking in to it.
#2- Pete and his secretary Sandra Pardomo (or something like that) made a bunch of copies of donor lists and such when he left um and tried to get people to donate to fiu. They almost filed charges on him but decided it wasn't worth the effort.
#3 Pete is a snake who has lied to a lot of people about a lot of things and he basically knows nothing about college athletics besides recruiting football players. He learned how to dictate from Butch and thats what he does.

why did this get moved here...this board is crazy 'Pantherfan...why the abitrary move of this conversation? Are you trying to upset the members of this board or was this some type of accident. I hope the later is the case.

yes...can this be moved back?....there is a lot of truth in these posts and some good point of views from both sides on the future of fiu athletics....this board has become very frustrating since the categories were created...this is not the first time a post has been randomly moved

fiu12, I fail to see your point here. When Strock began the program we were playing, basically, non-scholarship D-IAA football teams. Strock and company, through circumstances beyond their control, were along for the ride as we moved up to D-IA football. There was a window of opportunity and we, as an institution, took it.
We now have a bigger budget because we play three or four money games a year [as well as other sources], once again because large D-IA schools will play us because we count toward them qualifying for a bowl appearance which has nothing to do with anything Coach Strock did.
Now if we put the money issues aside, does Coach Strock deserve to be retained as head football coach based on his performance with the team, on and off the field? I think the vast majority of us on this board would answer with a resounding NO!
All that being said, we now have a choice, we can limp into the next phase of our football existence or we can make a splash. I for one am thrilled that we have decided to open our check book going forward. Sure their are going to be those that might feel they are being treated unfairly during this transition but we need to keep our 'eyes on the prize'. We may have offered the freshman recruits the incentive of paid Summer school for them signing; I don't know, this is pure speculation, but the point is we are doing things different than we've done in the past, and that's important.
T.D.A.O.S.

This was moved because it is NOT football related. Anyone who has acess to this board has access to every other board, it is not curving the discussion, it was just taken out of the football board where we discuss football topics.

Anyone who has acess to this board has access to every other board, it is not curving the discussion, it was just taken out of the football board where we discuss football topics. I beg to differ FPF. Don't you think the original post is what should determine where the conversation belongs? Given that as true and since we were talking about the stadium and other issues associated with PG, it was appropriately started and belongs in the football board. No one can tell where the conversation is going to go, so in my opinion, to take it out of where I and some 600 viewers are expecting to find it and dump it into a board that discusses 'all other sports' is completely arbitrary. If you look at my prior post you will see that all I spoke about was football. Please put this post back where it began and where it belongs. Thanks.

Again, this post is about Pete Garcia, not football, which is why it belongs in this general area. Bottom line, the thread is still here, people are still viewing it (not at 715 views) and replying, and everyone is welcome to comment on this post.

Then why Cindy's court? According to you: ..."this board is designed for sports that do not have their individual message board".
So unless bashing PG is now its own 'sport' this string does not belong here and, following your logic, might belong perhaps in the House that Mitch built.
Either way, the move was arbitrary, arbitrary, arbitrary.

To move this here makes absolutely no sense...cindy's court?...what!!..no sense at all...the only ones who are viewing it are those who have posted..no new visitors...who in their right mind would go to a board designed for women's basketball for general FIU athletics info?...seems to be kind of fishy why this was moved...maybe some feathers ruffled or something...
like I said before..u need a general board...especially now since all the sports are out of season...a general fiu athletics board would be a very active board on the site...

Good for Lou. I always like him.
I think it is very fishy that this post was moved from the most viewed board. It must have struck a nerve somewhere.
There was a post awhile back titled "Pete Pedro Garcia" which discussed some of the same issues.
Why was my post moved and that one was not. Hypocrisy?

Yes, but I DON'T know you are, so I DON'T know you're legit. So DON'T try playing that game with me I could careless if you were His Majesty the king on England. you need to be supposrting your claims. What exactly is the resolution your are seeking by your attacks on PGs character. I mean honeslty, what do you want to happen. Do you want us all to just believe you and chant "Garcia is a monster" alongside you? Do you want us to call for a public beheading? I mean honestly what do you want us to do? What do you want to come of this by telling us? Don't tell me you want him fired or what not because that's what you want Maidique to do. What do u want us to do in our capacity? You've said all that you needed to say now give us your resolve.
