He can't reply to the media. It is all about $$$. YSU has no money to replace him. He makes $150,000 and Tress knows that he needs more $$$ to land a coach that can get the program going in the right direction. YSU is laying off professors, laying off support staff and he cannot justify paying $200,000 for a new coach. That is why Strollo cannot address the media...he is backing Tress on this and has to tow the company line.
