70%-80% of our property taxes are spent on public education. We are the biggest financial supporters. That will not change.

It (I think I recall an earlier post where 'it' identified itself as a female) is most certainly exhibiting troll behavior. Evidence #1 it starts in its first post in this thread declaring this is its first post outside of the SBJCC thread. Then this absurd idea we should all donate or continue to donate to the Athletic department in order for our voices to be heard. Just looking for an argument with a stupid proposition. .
If one of the other mods hasn't already pulled the plug on this troll - I'm not a big fan of removing people just because they respectfully have a different (and twistedly different at that) opinion than the majority of the board - than I think we should ALL IGNORE the troll. Just say no and stop feeding it. I think this is the appropriate response, just ignore it - as hard as it can be - and every damn post it makes. If it replies to one of your post, ignore it. If they put up a new post, ignore it.
After time the troll will go away. We just have to quit feeding it.
But if this continues, then I'll figure out how to ban the community college leprechaun troll myself.
Go Dawgs!
Lol. Nice. I agree
It appears that the Hinson era will end with about 113-114 wins/losses and an average of 4,700 patrons and fans in the Arena. Herrin had 225-174 wins/losses and 4,960 fans Weber had 13-54 wins and losses and 5,740 fans. Painter in his one year was 25-5 against some tough teams and 6,700 fans came out to see the home games. Lowery had 145-116 wins/losses and 6,300 fans paid to see the games. Hinson's "era" does not strike me as one of the golden years of SIU basketball. From the standpoint of fans one never knows how the numbers were "counted" from 1985 to 2019 but "cash in the till" would be an interesting number to see for these coaches. During Herrin's first three seasons and last three seasons he averaged a draw of just under 4,000. Again, how were "heads" counted. It seems we need the same kind of change we had during Herrin's last three years when Weber rode in on the white horse. I'm a big fan of both men. It would seem to the casual observer that money in the till during the past seven years has not been on expectations but who knows.

Posting not to argue, only to clarify: Institutions of higher education in Illinois, like SIU, do not receive a dime from any property taxes in the State of Illinois. Illinois public education units that are K-12 and Illinois community colleges derive funds from Illinois county property tax assessments. So while your statement of "70-80% of our property taxes are spent on public education" is true, none of that funding supports anything at SIU.
Now if you were addressing the annual Illinois State income tax we pay, that money does go to fund SIU and every other institution of higher education in Illinois. Ironically this statement even includes Chicago State!

I think you should offer a free premium board membership to anyone able to cough up $100k for a buyout!
Absolutely. Consider it done

Does the premium board have more information on it?

I'm not a troll. Far from it. What do you want to know about my years in Carbondale?
I will continue challenging all the nonsense I keep reading on this site.
No one wants Hinson gone more than me and my husband, but this website is full of sheer stupidity.

I heard Jerry Kill himself posts there. Carries on a tradition Mario started on Saluki Talk.
Takes Hefferman long enough to get to the Kill comment .,.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement for the dean of the Valley. Kill must not be consulting with Ray Giacoletti and the rest of the MVC broadcasters.
