Wasn't he a VandyBoy recruit at one time? He went pro instead of coming to Vanderbilt. He has been implicated in the betting against baseball games scandal. He has been suspended for 1 year from major league baseball!

No doubt most didn't like the new VU logo including myself.

Over time have you warmed up to it?

Anchor Down

(Who would host of both Nebraska and Vandy advanced?)

Where is he and why not re-hire the man?

…but rather a realist

If CTC hits the portal hard like we think and Byington is for real with an entirely new portal roster and Lea made these meteoric changes - - I think 2024-2025 will look TOTALLY different than 2023-2024.

Provided a few on the roster leave.

We have some nice pieces heading into next year but we need to buy a couple of pitchers and a couple of hitters.

I trust that Vanderbilt fully understands NIL now, even if they were a year a half late to the party. We've proven we get it in football and basketball, now just have to prove we get it in baseball. We have one of the best baseball coaches in the history of the sport, now we just have buy a few more players.

Oh yeah, and gotta fire Baxter.

Well, do ya now believe like me that VU has been cursed by that God awful chubby "Buttplug V" logo that nobody wanted ???

This year the football team tanked, the basketball team sucked and were forced to pay millions to get rid of a coaching staff, the top rated golf team was upset in the 1st round of NCAA match play, and now the VandyBoys are the 1st team out of the NCAA baseball tourney.

Ditch that cursed logo !!!!!!!!!!

Includes a S&C coach with solid experience.

The loss to High Point completes the worst school year of Sports in the 3 major sports in a long time.

We refused to participate in NIL and the portal.

As a result, the fans are treated to a historically bad year.

Corbin will hang it up and leave the program he’s given his life to at its worst point since his first couple of years on the job? Unless there is a personal/health issue, the idea he would do that seems contrary to everything he’s shown us for all these great years. He may not like what the game’s become, but he’s too much of a competitor and a winner to throw up his hands and go out like this.

Also, the Nick Saban comps are pretty off. He went out in the college football playoff with Bama in pretty good shape as a program. I might feel differently if our baseball program was where it needs to be and positioned for future success.

Reaction from Vanderbilt's latest commitment in the 2025 class

Is listed as a commit on our database. Did I miss that being announced?

That seems a little extreme but I generally think highly of CDD other than their massive over media reaction to a one year US News Rankings drop — which simply just drew more attention the the drop and that VU cares what some old dude who keeps making data-science massive screw ups places them at.

I’d probably give him an A- and extend to 2030, but we sure do love contract extensions!

Dear Vanderbilt community,

On behalf of the Vanderbilt University Board of Trust, I am pleased to announce the extension of Chancellor Daniel Diermeier’s contract through 2035.

Although Chancellor Diermeier’s contract was not set to expire until 2027, his steady and visionary leadership over the past four years has put Vanderbilt on solid footing to thrive.

Alone, this is notable and commendable, but in a higher education landscape facing crisis after crisis, Chancellor Diermeier has delivered meaningful, tangible results in a short time—and has demonstrated the leadership skills necessary to lead us “forward ever” over the long term.

We are looking ahead to even bolder growth initiatives that will expand Vanderbilt’s global presence, accelerate its growth in teaching and research, and position it to become the great research university of the 21st century.

I look forward to daring to grow with each and every one of you—our global, One Vanderbilt community—in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Bruce Evans
Chairman, Vanderbilt University Board of Trust

Just would like to hear what he had to say yesterday and today.
