Metcalf Possibly Leaving?

It doesn't work that way for these clubs. They aren't normal businesses. The entire claim is non-sensical in almost every way.

Not for profits can lie about about their status like anyone. No one is going to jail if they say "No worries, everything is good here" and it turns out to be not true. And that still doesn't equal cooking the books.
 
I never made that claim. Not sure why you're getting upset with me. I was told by someone who would absolutely know they lost Gilman and Perry over money. Honestly I don't care if you believe it or not because I know the truth

I'm not upset with you. Just pointing out to anyone with brain cells that you're making things up.

They can't show donors fake accounting documents. That's the very definition of cooking the books.

Just another reason the claims are non-sensical.

I'm not making anything up and I trust my source on this one. Agree to disagree

show them I agree, but they can make statements to the contrary.

Also, how many donors actually know what they are looking at? If I asked all the donors what are the differences between the various classifications of net assets, I would bet 75% have no idea the differences. And for a not-for-profit/club the net assets classifications can give you a pretty good snap shot of the long term health.

Curt is right here...though I'd say 75% is likely too low. I know CPAs who can't read them. The financial status of anything to most people is "how much cash is sitting in the bank account?" In reality your position can be great without a lot of cash and can be very poor even with a lot of cash.

His friends said the board told them they had money though! Lol
 
Im sure I’m in the minority here but I feel Metcalf might be our weakest link on staff. If only we were so lucky....

Been on several boards of non profits and worked for one large one. Outside of a handful of us (500+ employees), nobody had a clue how to read even the most basic financial statements. The boards I was on, people were clueless about all of it. One guy ran a couple car dealerships and didn’t know how to read a basic financial statement. Why I’m always stuck being the treasurer.
 
Twins is an idiot.

With the continued presence of Lee, Bull, etc., at HWC they didn't need a splashy name hire. Those guys are going to do as much/more for bringing top young talent in as any new coach. DD is a great pick for many reasons, painful as that is for some to want to admit.


There’s irony here.

They aren't telling me diddly squat. They are consistently open with donors about club finances. Your claim that they are broke over the new facility is not just false, it's also nonsensical given the U of I's halt on capital fundraising efforts across the university.


It’s truly remarkable how an Iowa State fan, such as yourself, knows so much about Iowa.

Twins is an act. You’re actually a defender.

imagine how sad and pathetic your life actually has to be to sign up for to pretend you’re an Iowa State fan so you can defend Iowa.

How many times did you proofread that to make absolutely certain nothing was spelled wrong?

I'm guessing three.

See I thought you would want to not prove that I was correct when I acknowledged the irony of you calling anyone else an idiot.

looks like you’re not even trying anymore. That does not reflect well on your uni education
