In all honesty, that is the ONLY thing the other bloke does, talking *******s. Once you accept that in your heart, your soul will be set free.

NO MORE SOCCER ON THIS THREAD! I'd call Inday, but I think we need an @RVACane cleanup here. The Quicker Picker Upper Mauder...

Agreed. Small BOT - one person may have disproportionate power Large BOT - hard to get consistency and a clear mandate Hands-off BOT - good ADs thrive, bad ADs just sit there Activist BOT - power clashes and they may not have the expertise to manage Athletics Money talks - isn't that "the...

Epstein's windows are covered with hurricane shutters...

So Lake is a white pawn and Ferman is a black pawn? (relax, it's a chess reference)

David Lake is wrong. Paragraph one: the "power struggle" is "disingenuous". Paragraph two: the BOT leakers are "disingenuous". Proposed Paragraph three: THE WHOLE WORLD IS DISINGENUOUS! Don't know how many times it needs to be said. While Frenk (or any prior UM President) has...

YES! It's called REPRESENTATION, you heathen! (kidding, of course) I think most universities have these issues at times. May not always be public. I remember Auburn having some issues with the Yellawood guy and the Colonial Bank guy.

Truth and light, truth and light.

I still think Epstein will get explosive diarrhea when someone finally tells him no, but I otherwise agree with you.

Two sides to every coin. "Hey, you have given our University millions, we want to work with you in partnership, we appreciate your commitment, we want you to help guide us into the future, would you like to join the Board?" Happens 24-7-365 across this great planet. How sausage is made...

---Blake/Manny "done" - basically yes ---Frenk fires Blake - welllll, sort of, but the details are not super-relevant ---BOT vote - be careful on this idea, it's not some formal irrevocable vote, but I believe that it was a "progress approval" to take the next step(s) in the process...

Johnny is a great guy, I went to UM with him and was in the Student Government Senate with him. Manny Kadre was previously mentioned earlier in the thread (part of the Hire Manny crew). Not as familiar with Laurie, her priorities, her style. But I think it's safe to say that a lid needs to be...

Pretty good summation, even if I hate Gritty...

Yes, David Epstein and Gloria Estefan each have one vote. But they do not have equal power on the Board. And, yes, Julio Frenk DOES need BOT approval to make a significant hire at a significant pay level. In the past, and/or with a more powerful/respected President, this might have been more...

I had this separate conversation with a few other posters. There are lots of people who conflate their own particular goals/ambitions with bigger picture "I'm doing the right thing here". You often see this in politicians. Yes, the roads get built, but they also get their kickbacks. With...

It is not. I wish this board (CIS) could have more consistency with analyzing certain key UM leaders (not a knock against you, just pointing this out). I have posted very specific critiques of Beta Blake for 5 or 6 years. When we got the IPF built, plenty of people on CIS were rushing to...

I will explain it to you the way it has been explained to me for decades. You can't win every battle. You have to pick your battles. I think Epstein had tied himself pretty heavily to the "Blake and Manny will fix it" approach, and that eventually the time came for a sacrificial lamb (let's...

Take it to the Soccer Board (I love ya, I'm just trying to help keep things rolling)

The real problem is that Epstein (and others) do not see it as "actively sabotaging the program". They see it as "trying to do the right thing by Miami". I'm NOT justifying it, I'm explaining why he doesn't have the perspective to realize that what he is doing is going to cause real damage...
