Oh he’s transformed us alright. **** you blake.
 
How do you cram so many ***gots into one picture


It's a mixed bag really. Devastated as to the depths to which our progrum has sunk.

Happy for Butch to stick his giggle stick all the way up our admins dook chutes.

Until there are real changes at the top of our athletic department we are going to be living Groundhog Day for many more years to come. That part is infuriating.

The coaching staff doesn't even matter at this point, until that underqualified joke of an AD isn't replaced with someone competent, this program is dead in the water

Any idea how the hierarchy of these guys go? I would assume the Chair is numero uno. Vice Chair is the 2nd highest. Senior are the 3rd highest.

Then would regular or ex-officio members be higher ranked? Or similarly ranked. Where do Emereti members fall?
 
Crazy how some posters were ****ed they flew a banner today.
banner.webp

Emeritus is retired... retains title as an honorary member... can't vote on anything

Ex Officio means "by virtue of one's position", so these are people who are there because their position is automatic, such as the people from the Alumni Association and the "Citizen's Board". Frenk has power and the Alumni Association people have power, but the Citizen's Board positions are not going to have much impact on Athletics.

The regular and senior members are more active (in addition to the chairs and vice-chairs obviously). However, it does look like the senior membership is largely made up of big donors, so while they might be powerful, I'm not sure how frequently they participate. The emeriti membership are largely made up of famous people or people with big accomplishments (for instance Alfy Fanjul and his brother Pepe own one of the Big Sugar companies), but I don't see a bunch of names that match up to campus buildings (except for Bernie). I'm not sure the emeriti people have much power or participation, particularly as it relates to Athletics. Emeriti means they have probably done something in the past, I think Carlos de la Cruz was a prior chair of the BoT. Not sure that they vote, but I'm sure they get all the announcements and minutes.

Bottom line is that even if only a handful of people on the BoT have the real impact, it doesn't hurt to pressure as many of them as possible. They talk. Any of them will be annoyed to be reminded that they have a responsibility that they have shirked.
