I haven’t heard any names. You’re welcome.

Kinda interesting, since he has never been a member of the Flames Club. But, he is a friend of Jr's, so I guess that qualifies him.
That is why months ago, I asked what the criteria was for retiring a former players number. The athletic department didn't even know it was happening. They were not part of the decision. (They found out when KE was inviting all of his former teammates and football alum on Facebook, to join him on the field when he had his number retired). The athletic department was also directed to take the university jet to pick up Kelvin in Dallas and then make 3 more stops on the way back to L'burg to pick up some of his friends. Then they demanded 4 hotel SUITES and transportation to and from the stadium. I guess friendship trumps what is best for the university.
I can't imagine how Ian feels about this. He may be ok, but as AD, I would be furious.
Finally, I have heard RD's name surfacing for a position in some capacity. Talking about a disaster. But once again he is a favorite of Falwell's, even though he was campaigning for Jeff Meyer's job, while he was the assistant coach. I was told by a previous AD that he recommended to JM that he fire RD, but he didn't do it.
I could go on and on, but I have said enough right now. Hopefully, we can avoid some of these mistakes and make decisions based on qualifications and what is best for the university, rather than friendships.

Total unmitigated disaster and he was also the ring leader and getting players on campus without sharing any of what the school was about. I saw first hand at least 3 pretty big time recruits he had in 02 04 years that had no clue about convo or curfew dress code and were completely kept in the dark and were total nonfits. I believe one was elijah miller the 7 footer transfer was houston but im blanking on his roomates name. The other 2 was a Pf who im blanking on as well. Thats just the couple i remembered.

An absolute joke.

I am not even sure how you could become a Delegate. I guess if someone is running unopposed then that’s not a bad way. But in a hotly contested race, it’s ridiculous. There are going to be a lot of surprised people I imagine when they find out they either can’t vote or the person they wanted to vote for didn’t win. I don’t like it one bit. If the candidate who wins was behind it, I’m not voting for them in the General.

Seems to me Riggleman assumes a lot early and relaxed. Plus, the way he was elected for his first term was a joke.
