Looks like MSU taking big risk with athletics bringing in
Stanley and having an AD with no sports administration
experience. Interesting read.

Very interesting, but I think the author both underrates SBU and
overrates the day to day impact Stanley will have on athletics.
He's ultimately the university president, not the AD. There's no
conference realignment issues Stanley will have to deal with for
instance. SBU is currently ranked higher than MSU according to
US News. We're not bush league.

Interesting then that he would leave for a less high ranked
school, no? If reports can be believed, his total compensation
increase was less than 20%, and he left for a school that was
rocked with scandal. I'm sure the dollar is worth more in MI
than in NY, but the guy is 65 - looking for that next
opportunity, doesn't make all that much sense, IMO. To me,
sounds like he was pissed off at SBU for some reason, and
bolted.

Stony Brook should have no problem recruiting a very good
candidate. This is a top-flight public institution that still
has better days ahead. I liked Dr. Stanley but he had his faults
for sure. I want a president that will continue growing both
sides of campus- the medical school still has tremendous
potential and leadership at the top will help it grow even
further. I think everybody in positions of power realize that
athletics will remain very important and I expect a president to
arrive that shares that passion.

Interesting editorial. Certainly not the most flattering of
reviews of Stanley. Assuming true, not things I was totally
aware of.

stanley thinks athletics are incredibly important, is a big fan
of bball, builds partnership, connects alumni. cuts across
socio-economic boundaries, focus on students first (athletics
second).

Why Michigan State made 'home run' hire with sports-loving
president Samuel Stanley

[quote]ROSEMONT, Ill. – Steve Pikiell had been the men’s
basketball coach at Stony Brook for four years when Dr. Samuel
Stanley Jr. took over as president in 2009.
That season, the Seawolves made the National Invitation
Tournament for the first time in program history. Seven years
and six 20-win seasons later, they made their NCAA tournament
debut.
And it began a record growth – both in other sports and with new
facilities – for a university that was created in 1957 and an
athletic program that had been in Division I for 25 years.
Pikiell, now the basketball coach at Rutgers, called Michigan
State’s hiring of his old boss “a home run.” And for more than
sports.
“We had a lot of firsts when he was there in athletics, and he
was very supportive,” Pikiell said Wednesday at Big Ten media
day. “But he did a great job for the whole university and the
campus. He built new buildings. A visionary. Really a great guy,
very smart and a great family guy. Just all the characteristics
you want in a president.”
Hundreds of millions of dollars in donations poured in to Stony
Brook – a 26,000-student university on Long Island in New York –
for everything from new dorms to a computer science building to
a $194 million cancer center that opened in January.
Pikiell called Stanley, who began at MSU on Aug. 1, an
intelligent family man who “loves sports, loves
student-athletes.”
“He would come to all the games – basketball, football,
lacrosse, tennis, baseball. I mean, he’s a home run,” Pikiell
said. “He’s a sports guy, likes all sports. … He’s a really good
hire and he’s gonna help make the Big Ten even better.”[/quote]

Not exactly sure what was happening behind the scenes that could
have drove him our or what have you, but MSU was always going to
be a tough job with everything he was walking into from the get
go.

not a lot of details in the press other than a faculty member
got drunk at an event and touched someone... the articles seem
to imply that stanley wanted the board to investigate. but its
worded so oddly...
in any event- reading the comments to this video statement, this
is NOT a popular decision:
