Rhule will be here four years whether he wins a game or not. The leadership is pleased as can be with the direction of Baylor Football and they really don't give a damn what us little people think. They have made that very clear. That is just the way things are and there is really not anything we can do about it.
They are completely incompetent. But I don't believe this conspiracy theory despite it being easy to believe. It is agains their interest to be bad. Especially when we have a football budget almost as big as Texas' and bigger now than LSU's, and OU's. They aren't doing all this to hardly win any games. Hence why I think Rhule is not as safe right now as some assume.
There are a handful of religious zealots on the BOR that are totally detached from reality. Their strong personalities have beaten the others into submission and reduced them to just warm bodies warming a chair. Most of them have more money than God. They still think we are in the 1960s. The success of Baylor Football in their opinions, took the light off of the Christian Mission and their overblown egos. They could not let that go on. If any of them cared about money or the revenue that football has been bringing in to the school, they would not have made the decisions they have the last eighteen months. Their egos are much bigger than Baylor. And here we are.
The real money at Baylor was not on the BOR during the scandal. Our players with triple commas are Drayton, Simpson, Williams, Umphreys, Turner, etc. (Yes, Hurd, Robinson and Beauchamp are wealthy, but not multi billionaire rich). While Turners wife is now on the board and Drayton is Chairman Emertus, most of these guys were in opposition.
Rather, the BOR leadership - Willis, Murff, Gray, Harper, etc - could collectively be bought and sold out with Williams couch money. They were clearly out of their league when overseeing the program and during the scandal. Basically, a bunch of business failures or lawyers without requisite experience or fortitude to deal with the matter....
