Random rant: I don't like speaking ill of Church leaders, but I will speak ill..

Agree. Bateman didn't leave the greatest of legacies compared to other past

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

Rondo was way too progressive for BYU

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?

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

7 years is the standard, some have gone longer

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.

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

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