As with most things LU, if you have photos and / or know where skeletons are buried you have a LOT of leverage. Take that for what it is worth.

From some movie, I forget which:

Actor #1: "Are you saying he is where he is because he knows where the skeletons are?"
Actor #2: "I'm saying he probably helped to bury them."


True?

I can neither confirm nor deny that statement. But there is an awfully large pit they are filling in under the auspices of "Parking" and he did have a close handle on WHERE they were digging the new tunnel LOL

Bottom line is the man deserves whatever credit or PR move the school wants to give him...its no secret his time at Liberty is ending soon but lets not forget that Doc relied on this guy like he never relied on anyone else. While Borek may have been the one to help us get out of debt. Godwin is the one who paved the way to turn this school into a money making machine. I'll never forget at one football game I asked Doc who is the biggest asset in his opinion to the University at that time (thinking I'd hear a name like Towns, or someone else) he didnt hesitate one second and quickly said Dr. Godwin....he said that there were departments that were losing a lot of money and pulling the school down...not only did they stop losing money but some of them got out of the red.


Is he tough to get along with....yeah, he can be...but the man's brilliant and has done great things for this school

I agree. Hope my addition to the conversation didn't come across as anything different.

not at all....I mean, everyone has mixed feelings on the guy...and that's bound to happen when you're a business leader who's dealings have been as big and public as his...not to mention when you add the "Christian" aspect of it and now you're under the microscope with all that considered he's done well....I hope nobody looks into my business practices and why I have a slush fund!!! :shock: :lol: 8)

Thanks HMO for bringing things back to the heart of the issue. Thanks also for your wisdom on the situation.

I just love when people used to park in "Godwins supposed parking spot" up by the mansion. He used to park behind you to block you in so you had so come inside and find him. One day he did it to me....but i wasn't going in to get a lecture so i backed up and drove my car between the tree and the overgrown hedges, leaving his car parked sideways in the middle of the road with no one parked in the space in front. Ill bet he still wonders how that car just up and disappeared :P

he probably heard it from someone at LUPD. I don't know that for sure, but I don't know how else he could know that

HMO, I thought he was only joking, but if that is a true story, it's even funnier.

(Any truth that his mom once got a wheel lock placed on her car by LUPD?)
