It's true. Jim Pillen, Tim Claire, T.O...... and the rest of the members of the Tradition Coalition have controlled too much for far too long. If the coach or AD doesn't fit with what they want then they are gone. Outsiders are generally not welcomed or supported by them.
Money was there for the Buy Out of Frost. I know of some boosters who were willing to write some substantial checks to help cover some of Frost's contract but they were out powered. Our big boosters are divided as many wanted Frost gone, some after season 3. But Tradition Coalition has the power with Turd. University powers have to honor them also because if Pillen is elected Governor he has plenty of say in how the university is run and financed. With TO's public blessing Pillen is probably a shoe in to win the election. Sad that they are putting their own personal gains and agenda over what is best for the football program.
So our fanbase is divided and so are our big Boosters. A couple of them are very frustrated with the state of our program, and not sure how much they will be donating as long as Tradition Coalition continues to control things.
