The Big Balls Brad era is over. As others have mentioned, Mason athletics has not flourished under his tenure. Although Brad talked a big game the wins and greater success didn't happen.
One particularly large pothole in the road was a damaging (but very quiet) scandal regarding NCAA regulations violations that was at least a contributing factor to the loss of both men's and women's basketball coaches. Sanctions were placed upon both volleyball teams. Additionally, a general purge occurred within the athletic department, followed by one-year probation that ends this week. Bad optics for sure, especially for BBB.
Sorry, Brad, but your image and goals didn't match your production in terms of Mason teams' success. Perhaps that's from what you inherited, how do I know for sure. But the record speaks. You did a good job with PR and raising cash. Thanks for your effort.
Mason will endure. Good luck in your next chapter. On to bigger and better things for everyone.
