re: Just got off the phone with a well connected friend***BOC APPROVES HIRE***

Regarding the BOC meeting on Monday and the thought that whomever is taking the job must already be known.


Everyone seems to be forgetting the backlash for the hiring of Haith though, and rightfully so.

People were clamoring and were unsure if the BOC would even approve his contract.

Do you not believe Alden took heat for that behind the scenes?

He could as others have pointed out have his list of candidates ranked and taking them to the BOC for final approval.

He could also very well have a deal worked out with Marshall, but need additional funding approved in order to finalize that. How come through all this not a word has come out from Marshall or his camp denying it? Seems like it would be a pretty simple step to reassure everyone. He's had a podium to do that several times.

The thought that Gabe keeps posting I am being told by sources that are 99 percent sure it's not going to be Marshall. Well as Gabe has admitted before he is having trouble getting any information because everyone is so tight lipped, how exactly is he able to rule out candidates then? If it's Alden communicating with a select group of people in Marshall's camp no one else would need to know. If Alden can't get the money Marshall want's there is no reason to throw WSU into an uproar when he's going to be there for however much longer.
