Agree that was a tipping point and wish Rondo could have stayed.

Rondo was way too progressive for BYU

And he had an awesome name.

I was a grad student intern in the ASB during his 6th year...

Am I rembering correctly that he plagerized his inagural speech at BYU?

DirtyWater

I don't know. I was just off my mission when he came in.

Yes - or at least didn't give attribution where he should have

7 years is the standard, some have gone longer

Not going to bat with the higher-ups is a prerequisite for the job.

DirtyWater

In the Bateman admin it was.

Bateman went to battle with the BOT and lost and lost big...not sure the school

Wait, what? That goes almost totally opposite what I’ve been told.

Not with Rex Lee it wasn’t. Maybe my bias is too heavy and I don’t

I won’t bash Bateman any more. At least in this thread. But he deserves it.

Ah, a good food services manager running the university. What could go wrong?

Who was the man from the Business or Accounting School that got involved?

Freddie Skousen. He told racist jokes about Asian people and offended Norm Chow.

Why can't we just get Mitt to sign up for BYU President and Athletic Director?

MajorZeus
