The Grounds

As far as I knew, she was doing a fine job. But this certainly makes sense interms of higher ed organizational structure/culture. After a longstanding UVA guy like Casteen departs, you bring someone unrelated in to shake things up for a couple years, then replace them soon with a more established person. Helps elicit change while appeasing the traditional base.

Whenn it came down to understanding our athletic programs and knowing what we need to become big time i think she was the right fit. I did not take the time to read the post on y she was let go cus i know it uva bull crap bueracracy again however i hope the next president support our programs like she did and not let this thomas jefferson, uva is excellent bull shet interfere with makin our teams top notch.

You know, for a UVA fan, you sure don't seem to like UVA very much.

As for Sullivan stepping down, I've heard it's from not seeing eye to eye with the BOV on how to recruit replacement faculty for the future stability, success, and acclaim of the University. A mutual parting of ways, if you will.

Anyway, Sullivan brought a lot to the table for us in terms of athletics. She was certainly the anti-Casteen in that regard. So I hope we're able to replace her with another Prez who will embrace the pursuit of athletic excellence... especially in football and basketball. And I hope the new Prez will be smart, forward-thinking, and aggressive when it comes to conference realignment and UVA's place in the shifting landscape.

I am!

I stand corrected, then. Should have said I doubt anyone on here is a college administrator or board member. However, I still find it highly unlikely that any of the more outlandish claims being made here can be substantiated in any way.

Im a fan of the sports programs. I dont give a damn about the school and the tradition. I said it before how i became a fan. At the age of 9 i moved to virginia and all i saw was unc gear. All the kids were unc fans. I could not understand how va people represent another state. So me always wanting to be different start cheering for uva and my passion grew. When i was 17 i was invited to see a nc state game by the coaches and they were playing uva. Now im sitting with nc state recruits and fans in their seats and i was heering for uva. Uva lost and this one kid he was 6'8 and his last name i believe was thorton got into a fist fight. He started teasin me about the lost and i mush him in the face.LOL now nc stae wasnt tht serious about me but if they were i think they wouldnt of liked i was in theor paid seats cheering for the opponent. So yes im a fan but hate the pompus attitude tht come from alum and fans. Not all but most
