[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 401144, member: 2426"] I you want to criticize Bud for not getting rid of MBob sooner, I think that is a fair criticism. I don't know what was happening behind the scenes between MBob and the GTAA trustees, but it should have been apparent that he was disenfranchising: The fan base, the GTAA employees, and the coaches. However, I was responding first to criticism that Bud doesn't fund athletics enough, and then that he isn't the out front leader of athletics. My response to the first is that the school funds athletics to the maximum allowed. My response to the second is that the out front guy should be the AD instead of the school president. I have seen Bud at athletic events. When I have seen him he was engaging fans and donors. I don't know for a fact, but I suspect that he meets with donors to both athletics and academics at other times also. If he was as anti-athletics as some have said, why would he be at the events? Why would he be engaging the athletic donors? It just seems to me that some peoples general frustrations are aimed at people who might have some blame for issues, but aren't anywhere near as bad as people seem to believe. [/QUOTE]
