hindesky Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Chris Pezman, who ushered the University of Houston athletic department into the Big 12, was fired on Thursday, the school announced. In a statement, UH president Renu Khator called the move a “difficult but necessary decision as we navigate a paradigm shift in college athletics.” https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/college/article/chris-pezman-ad-fired-19524313.php 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBTX Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I'm assuming this has more to do with Dana's contract extension, and to a lesser degree, not firing Todd Whitting, than anything else. Aside from some questionable personnel moves, not much to complain about under his direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from some questionable personnel moves, not much to complain about under his direction. Rumor is season ticket renewals for football were not good. Pezman should have been fired 2 years ago. Hopefully whoever takes his place will be held accountable. In my opinion Renu and Tillman have not held the AD accountable for numerous shortcomings - football attendance, the swift decline of the baseball program, women’s basketball…poor amenities at the TDECU football stadium (no bathrooms or concessions on the 2nd level of the home side)… the list goes on and on… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBTX Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 There definitely seems to be donor fatigue among donors and season ticket holders, which is not unique to UH. But I'm sure it hurts our bottom line more. I'm sure they'll find a good replacement. For what it's worth, they do have a good track record (even though most have moved on to bigger jobs). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Amlaham Posted July 23 Popular Post Share Posted July 23 (edited) Just noticed Cullen Blvd finished its rebuild and its looking VERY nice. Huge plus for the university! Lane reduction from 4 lanes to 2 lanes, much needed expanded side walks, and sooo many TREES! Just look at these 10 year differences!! 😍 Edited July 23 by Amlaham 14 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renaissance1999 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 This was such a pain going to classes in the morning when this road was under construction. So glad its finished! Can't wait to go back to campus to see the all the new additions on campus! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbg.50 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 It looks great! I hope the University shuts down Cullen to vehicular traffic on football game days. I remember when TDECU first opened Cullen was filled with food trucks and tailgaters. If they’re smart they’ll go back to that setup. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been shutting down Cullen between Holman and Wheeler the past few seasons. It has definitely helped the gameday fun leak out of just the immediate stadium area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shasta Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 When is the Centennial Landscape project breaking ground? Is the plan to have it done in time for UH's 100th birthday?

Urbannizer Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 This one will be off campus, dunno the exact location. https://www.vaughnconstruction.com/clients/projects/university-of-houston-uh-tmc-701 The 50,000 SF TMC #701 building will be within the Texas Medical Center and provide dedicated space for future students pursuing health professions and population health research. The complex will include new education and conference facilities designed to meet the evolving needs of the university. The project also includes exterior building modifications and site work at the Texas Medical Center.

Following the demolition of the existing O’Quinn Law Library, the new building will serve undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff for the next decade. The building includes a grand entrance to stimulate conversation and social cohesion, a lecture hall for classrooms, labs, and meeting spaces to support learning. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I went to an orthopedic doctor this week who used to have a practice at the office tower next to St. Joseph and did surgery there. He said UH is thinking about buying St. Joseph to use for a training hospital for their new medical school. Said the surgery wing is in excellent shape. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
