    So an interim president was willing to alienate the big donors, and this led him to becoming the president? So I guess the donors really don't have as much influence as they think they have, or want to have? And who are the counter-balancing forces? Muma is willing to alienate the big money donors to apease whom?
    The “big donors” have additional interests - not just basketball.

      There’s nothing impossible. Their are two parties and they can agree to whatever they want to agree to, including amending the termination agreement and throwing it all out. And that is what should happen. Wow, Boatright is way worse than we thought.

        Believe, or not, what you want to believe. I have a lot of respect for Muma. Leaders make mistakes all of the time.

              Someone needs to get to the bottom of this (Taylor). If Gregg was contrite it destroys every counter-narrative on here.

                3G LOVED (and still does) Wichita and the Shocker program.

                He still lives here, if that is any indication.

                He would still be coaching here if the administration had any spine to stand by him.

                  Also FWIW, I was the first poster to announce the Henry Levitt Arena update in 2000? Lots of folks doubted me but I think I might have been a week ahead of the press announcements.
                  I believe you and like Doc said, some of us were misled as to the negotiations prior to the settlement.
                  The bottom line is, even if he would’ve stayed on can you imagine the shock collar and short leash FHCGM would have been on? The first time he looked at someone wrong or hurt their feelings, he would be subject to being canned for cause. However risky as it would be to his bank account to do that, it goes to show you how much he loved it here if he was willing to take a gamble to try.

                      Actually putting that in a sentence connects a LOT of dots.

                          This made me think of a conversation with a Shocker player from many years ago. He said that Coach Fogler told him, to paraphrase, “one day a school is going to pay me a lot of money to NOT work for them.”

                            Muma can show how good he is by making the right decisions from here on out regarding the Athletic Department. A year from now, If things look as bad as they do now regarding the basketball program then he probably has to make a move to find a new AD. Would not like Boatright to be involved in the selection of a new basketball coach in a couple of years..

                              No matter what he has to eventually address his mistakes here and move on from DB, who is essentially worthless and just stealing money from the University.

                                Starting to think Muma's mistake was one of omission, not comission. Thinking in his newness he mostly let Boatright handle the already ongoing investigation and didn't get involved as would have taken to change the trajectory of the outcome. Can your sources confirm?
