Scott Garrett is a really good dude and I used to be tight with him, had a falling out over some choice words and heated discussions on the topic of oscar.
Go on,  please

Just a really great guy who is very good at what he does for the Department. After i reached out to him to say congrats on his new title/promotion we had a great conversation. The more guys like him in the department the better.

I'll take cut throat assholes as long as we win and raise lots of money and the cut throat bad person is more in line with doing everything we can to win as long as it's not egregious rule breaking and covering up major crimes.   I am also open to discussion on what is or is not egregious rule breaking.

Outside fundraising and building things around good/great products already established was Currie really any of those things? Not really.

I get the mantra of 'we want a guy who gets things done, *enter caveats of "as long as he doesn't cheat TOO much"*.

I think you can directly link it to essentially every program that ultimately become embroiled in huge scandals. I'm sure Baylor started out with this exact same attitude of being so obsessed with winning/success that an attitude was taken of "as long as we dont do anything REALLY bad" we are fine with it if we are winning. Then when the success grew the willingness to allow gray areas to expand grew and the wllingness to turn blind eyes to things becomes more prevalent. And then when crap hits the fan the fanbase either straight up denies everything or stupidly acts astonished things got this bad.

 It's really an inane type of thinking that if you invite bad people to do 'just certain bad things' you can tolerate on some level, that worse things won't come from it.

Baylor was way past a gray area and this isn't the slippery slope.  I think a majority of people are saying we don't need to be digging through grocery store trash cans on victimless crimes.  Baylor's program not only brought in players that put students at risk, but covered their behavior.  There is a thick line between getting money from a family friend and sexually assaulting people.

I understand that. And i agree the flip side is you can be over board with compliance, etc like Currie was. Just simply statimg that yes, its a very slippery slope was the the context of my point.

Fwiw isn't it Learfield(sp?) who buys our radio rights and distributes it, so they were the ones who lost it?

Uh no clue what you are talking about. That's like literally NOT happened. Youre obsession over women's golf though. I bet you couldnt even name a single current golfer on that team. Lol.

Wait, are you thinking about 610 no longer covering sports for KU? Yeah that has nothing to do with Taylor. But to summarize your points

 You are worried about a sport literally 10 people take an interest in.

You think 'hiring' people is THE litmus test for any AD

You are kind of a dipshit and confusing yourself about recent news and what school it relates to.

So Learfield didn't dump 810 after all? That's too bad, they are a horrible partner.
