JuanMogen Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Ken Chertow's late 90's VHS series had his personal highlights set to songs such as "Footloose", "Maniac", and "On the Dark Side". Watching him try to armspin a Russian while dancing to Footloose is better than most practices my fat, burnout of a coach could cobble together. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRef Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 18 hours ago, SetonHallPirate said: Ken Chertow was the first head coach Queens hired when they started the program. Let's just say he left about a month into his first season under mysterious circumstances. He probably crashed the school's server blasting out the emails about the NEW summer camp location! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year as I was at PIAAs, I heard an announcement about Chertow's Camps. Before the announcement was over, I got an email about the same! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he's in the .1% but he's acting like he's in .01% and he ain't. Lmao whatever. This board is wild. I know people who have done more and rarely talk about themselves. Chertow makes it sound like he was the greatest ever and is continuously on the prowl to scam someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanOfPurdueWrestling Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 What a pathetically cowardice way to say they’re cutting a program lmfao. “Queens university announces athletic update lmfao” they need that enrollment money…. Good luck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingcement Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Very unfortunate. Hopefully we can add Tarleton State to the mix and have it be sustainable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The demand for programs is there from a HS athletes perspective. I don’t get why we can’t get 100 D1 programs and instead we have to hope and pray our 76 aren’t cut.

You'd swear Chertow was every bit as accomplished as John Smith if you listen to him talk. Did you know that he beat Barry Davis in OTT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying an Olympian and two time bronze medalist at ncaas is too big for his britches sounds ridiculous. Saying he's a braggart scam artist at least is specific.

I know they had a quite lofty goal, and there is a page where you can donate, but it is not as easy to see how much fundraising progress has been made.

WrestlingRash Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 This is another case of hiring a coach who doesn't realize his first priority should be finding a way to be self sustaining financially. The cost of running a program is not small. When you include salaries, benefits, trainers/sports medicine, travel, scholarships, equipment and facilities, you are looking at 300-500K a year. Raising that kind of money for that kind of program is a real challenge, but you have club, camps, fund raisers etc. and should be able to put together a 5 year plan to make it happen. Until we become fully self funding, we will always be the first sport to get chopped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be active as hell, two dedicated full time coaches. This is optimistic thinking but I think they get it done eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
