Boosters are what continually keeps us in this shite state to begin with. Let the athletic department run it, not an ad hoc committee.

Boosters/donors are for the most part normal fans like you and me. Most donors don't fall in the Broyles Matthews level of donation. All we get for our money is a parking pass, a time slot on seats 3D, a yearly Christmas gift, and a plaque (depending on your donor level).

We have no say in who is hired and fired. It's the elite donors and politicians who are pulling the strings now. Hate on Jeff Long all you want but he had the balls to tell the BOT and GOBN to frick off..... which led to him being fired. Broyles didn't tell them to frick off because he knew what buttons to push and he controlled them for the most part.

Chris Frye does a good job of describing who is to blame for this situation:

I'll continue to remind ARK fans... direct your displeasure, not to the AD, but to the Board of Trustees. They made this hire of Morris all b/c of politics. Remember, there were at least 5 better candidates than CM during the process, but they went with the safe hire. Jus' saying
