back when I was in school (class of '06) a few of my professors at least in the core classes I was taking my freshman and sophomore year would give extra credit and sometimes even make it mandatory to attend sporting events.
Dr. Bott was a HUGE supporter of athletics (loved that guy).
Is UH back to regularly scheduled classes on campus, or is it in some sort of lockdown/remote learning environment? If it is the latter, that could have an impact on student attendance.
With all that said, our students should be filling their part of the stands regularly. Is it still the case that student tickets are free?
didnt Dr. Bott leave cuz they didnt want to pay him more? stupid decision by UH, Dr. Bott alone converted a lot of apathetic students into diehard donators/supporters, def worth the moneyâŠoh yeah, he was also a great teacher!
No he left because he wasnt on the tenure track and there was a better opportunity at Swansea to start a Chem department a le CKS. He was an amazing professor and had a lot of school spirit more than most professors.
My favorite quote of his after he left âOf course, Iâll probably yell so loudly over there that youâll hear me here when we beat Oklahoma and then get into the Big 12,â Bott said.â
I think the B12 berth reinvigorated CKS. He sees that as a big challenge. It is. Weâre gonna be in an âearly 2000s Big East goodâ conference. No way he leaves.
If our hoops team can sustain top 25 in the B12 we will have more stability than at any time in our history. Then he can do the Kellen handoff.
