Yep. And everyone here has to remember, the BoT run the entire university system, not just the Fayetteville campus, almost all of higher ed in Arkansas. I would expect any conversation about Bert/Long to have been brief. They have a lot on their plate.

If they spent more than 5 minutes talking about Long/Bert I would be highly disappointed in our higher ed decision makers.

Well you just made an arse of yourself. These are political appointees. They don't give a frick about UACC-Hope campus income statement. They are only on the BoT to meddle in athletics.

It is disappointing but true. Folks like Jim Lindsey, Tommy Boyer, etc are all former UA athletes with strong ties to Broyles and company, and thus strong feelings about how our athletic department should be run

Also if you think the BoT doesn't hire/fire you are dead wrong. The chancellor, etc all take marching orders from the BoT. If they refuse, they'll just fire the chancellor and get someone else to do it. Or make his life a living hell until he gives in

Sorry folks. The BoT is the most political, infighting, chickenshit board in all of Arkansas. They don't give a frick about academics or any other campus but UA.
