Do you try to be an anus or does it come naturally?

Let me guess. In your usual "suck up" fashion, you sent an email to Ira congratulating him on his unanimous election as BOT Chair. Ira Lubert has no idea (or care) who you are, but he had his Executive Asst respond in kind to all of the "well-wishers" with the same blanket response "I hope I can live up to your expectations".
You've been played (which isn't difficult)
I'm new at responding and probably naive, but why does a public tax payer funded institution have private executive meetings
Pa. Law basically permits public board closed sessions for discussions of personnel, property transactions or legal matters. The state's public boards have figured out ways to shoehorn most of their discussions into those categories.
66: You frequently post to stir things up, but I can't find a lot to take issue with in the above post. I know you're a "move on" guy and I disagree with you there, but that's a given, and nothing new.
Frankly, I don't expect much information from anyone who was in that Executive Session. Perhaps Marshall23 is right, and they're giving a truce a chance. Much as I would like to see it happen, I certainly don't expect apologies from the OGBOT, but there are other constructive steps they could take, and I hope to see some soon.
Or he can put one of the A9 on the exec board and they can scamper away like little puppies. Which do you think he'll do?
I would have made that #3.
and I'll say the this to the doubters . . . throw your hat in the ring if you think you can do a better job. I may not agree with the decision 100% that the A9 made, but they are still in it.
Well until now the PS4S was all that was needed to get elected. Probably will still be that way but I'll tell you this if Dem or Bagwell were part of A9 I wonder if they would have been rolled as easily.
Great point. Almost impossible to believe the football guys knew but Ira didn't. In fact not almost.
I'll preface this by saying that I'm not a friend of Lubert. Putting his pal Joyner in as AD stunk to high heaven. His involvement with TSM reeks.
But... it wasn't public, but discovery in one of the ongoing lawsuits did turn up the email in which he was livid over Erickson accepting the consent decree without involving the entire board in the decision. He said (rightly) that Erickson did not have the authority to do that. This is something that a lot of us have been saying. Erickson absolutely was not empowered to spend $60mn without the Board's approval. But Lubert shouldn't have just objected privately. He should have taken it public.
You don't know that. Lubrano has not been a pushover. There must be something afoot.
It is rather ironic that the very institution they are running should be a beacon for truth, transparency
and open debate and they insist on doing things in private.
You know i would like to think that but Anthony just spent the last 6 weeks bashing Lubert. I simply can't imagine what could be afoot that would cause him to make such a full throated endorsement as he did.
He rolled on the Corman/NCAA settlement which short-circuited a judge's push for the truth. To Lubrano's credit, he has owned up to that mistake. But he has rolled before.
Exactly! We have a con man in charge and the people around him fall for his crap hook, line and sinker.
Something does not seem right. I think Lubert would like to get rid of the alumni elected trustees. Something happened in that meeting - enough for the 9 elected trustees to fall in line. We know Ira's past dealings - suddenly he has changed? Jubelier rarely posts - and when he does he has something to say - now posting a message supporting Ira Lubert. Lord apparently has immunity with Ira's blessing of him being appointed to Exec. We'll see about the rest.
And you really believe the PA OAG is going to care if Ira lied or mislead a few alumni reps? They are part of the backstory more than anyone else. Who knows how many of them are benefitting from Joe and PSU taking the heat over their mis-management of the situation. There is nothing short of the FBI that will bring Ira down.
In your last communication with him he said, "trash day is tomorrow, just to remind you, because you are too stupid to remember. Please remember to put my trash on the curb before you pick up the dog's shit off of my lawn."
You're missing such pageantry and elegance. Seriously, I love the guy's posts, even when they are directed at me. Not only that, he seems to do his homework on the bot.
There are times I think he is dating austinnit's girlfriend.
