Dude. What freaking world do you live in? You are all about believing the man will watch his wife making the beast with 2 backs with young men while he’s wearing a speedo. Yet you find the thought that coeds would flash him while on his farm beyond the pale. Dude. Just...dude
I'm coming back to this because it really bothered me.

One, I have no idea how much of the poolboy story is true. But if it is, at the end of the day the 3 of them were consenting adults.

Now if he is sending nude pictures of female students to the pool boy, students that attend his school he is the president of? That is a whole other ballgame and potentially criminal, especially if they did not consent.

Again. That is a huge difference. Again. I hope it isn't true but if it is this could get even messier.
Class 1 misdemeanor. Up to 12 months in jail and $2,500 fine.

Correct. But Jerry is technically on that board as well. They're not doing anything.
He has one vote. And do board members of TRBC have a morality clause?
I'm wrong. Jerry was removed from TRBC board.

Yeah I imagine that was part of the “resignation “ negotiations

As El Scorcho referenced, I am hearing this story is about to get much worse. There will be more revelations come streaming out from multiple sources. Now that the code of silence has been broken the true gravity of the depravity is going to be exposed. Many folks who have direct knowledge but still love the university even after leaving it have kept this from coming out sooner. But Number 32:23 remains undefeated.

I think many of us have been so focused on getting him out of the position that looking up and seeing the disaster left behind is going to become even more painful now.

If that is indeed the case (and I have no doubt it is) then I don't see a scenario in which anybody on the board stays.

There are some good people on the board but this is on them as well.

No way the BoT survives with majority of senior leadership.
Really? I always thought he was pretty solid, but never spent any time around him outside of the hello in passing at Convo or such.

I think him leaving before all this comes out inoculates the University to an extent. If this were drawn out and these new revelations came out it absolutely would be devastating. As it is these are going to hurt Junior more than the University. When these things break where can the anger be focused? LU already got rid of him. In this instance it’s a good thing he’s not as well know as his Dad. There are people a mere hour away that had never even heard of him. I even had 2 people ask me what Juniors father had to say. They didn’t even know he was dead.
So while I totally agree these revelations are gonna be ugly I don’t think it will be devastating. Elmer nailed it - LU belongs to the students (paraphrased).

Because Elmer is a man of the people. I love that guy so much. He just seems to get it.
I think it is well within the realm of possibility that Elmer may end up playing some sort of role in the rebuilding process, which would be an incredible story.

Johnnie M. There’s a blast from the past. And things start to make more and more sense.

I would love this. He helped build it once. He should have a voice in building it again.

So, let's just say it turns out they exercise the "nuclear option" and all the board members resign. Where do we start? It's unrealistic to think that one or 2 people would do the vetting for those board members who wish to return and/or replacements for those who don't. I would say a committee of 10 or so would be needed. Maybe more. Who picks that committee? I can think of 2 key people who by all appearances are unscathed by this and would be a good start:
Jonathon Falwell
Elmer Townes

Maybe there are others, but I think that's a good start.
