Eaglekeeper {l Wrote}:Simple, Bates reports to Leahy, not the BOT. The BOT have nothing to do with the day to day running of the university and that includes hiring and firing coaches. The BOT has shown no interest in getting more involved with athletics.
The way to get to Leahy is through the media. If the globe can get a lot of donors to comment on the sorry state of BC athletics and an online petition calling for change is a good start. Also, I think calling out Leahy on social issues a lot like BYU getting bad media on their unpopular positions on social issues. Trap him and let the media crucify him and force the BOT to retire him.
Simple? If you say so. The Globe did get Cardinal Law "fired" (sort of) but really just demoted back to Rome. Of course there is a huge difference. Father Leahy didn't knowingly cover up some child molestation scandal at BC. You guys aren't Penn State.
I don't think its that simple Eaglekeeper. I mean maybe I don't know, and it IS that simple. It's possible. I have no connection to BC outside of my willingness to root for BC in football and in men's hoop. I socialize with members of the BC alumni association here in Phoenix. I spent 3 hours talking to Chase Rettig's dad and Alex Amidon's dad. And I've met
in Vegas. That's it. That is my whole BC connection (and of course you guys, via the internet.) So I would think every single one of you guys would know far better than me what it would take to terminate Addazio. And I hope it happens, I'm DONE with him. I just don't think (this time, with this kind of extension and $$$$) it will be that simple. That is why I asked HJS (just a few days ago) when his contract is up, 2020 is a long way out into the future....
