Enjoy seeing the response's, thought out.
I said in the original post the lack of a statement was either driven by Old Main, Spears doesn?t think there is a problem, or could care less about basketball. I also put in racially motivated. I hate to think this is the case, but here are the facts. Basketball and volleyball, (7-20 in the SBC last 2 years, .462 win pct overall), have under performed and unless I missed it no public statements. Both coaches are white. Football has a 500 season, (I never Count bowls anymore due to massive opt outs everywhere), and what amounts to a public warning shot is sent out to the masses, the hardest schedule in MU history is put into place. Are they setting up a person to fail? Data is data. Do I think this is the case? No. Outside optics could make the case though. IMO, it?s favoritism and hypocrisy to the extreme.
To the poster who turned down the invite from the foundation. Good for you. The leaders at MU from the Pres to AD are the caretakers of the univ. Even though there have been advancements at the university level in some areas, decesions and actions or non actions, show you a persons decision making process and their flaws. So can you trust those caretakers to make competent decesions for the good of the school? Or they only do it some of the time, when it benefits themselves. So when they ask you to donate, ask yourself are they worthy caretakers of the univ or are they taking the easy route. Leadership is hard. Doing the right thing is not.
