UM Board of Trustee's Have Just Stepped Up To The Plate

[decleated]

I don't see the benefit of this statement. If you want to let the NCAA know you intend to pursue this to the courts, there are quieter ways to do so. This posturing risks causing the NCAA to dig in, IMO. Never good to taunt a cornered animal, which is what the NCAA is at this point.

If you surround the enemy, leave an outlet; do not press an enemy that is cornered.

“I am the punishment of God...If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”

“The real greatest pleasure of men is to repress rebels and defeat enemies, to exterminate them and grab everything they have;
to see their married women crying, to ride on their steeds with smooth backs, to treat their beautiful queens and concubines
as pajamas and pillows, to stare and kiss their rose-colored faces and to suck their sweet lips of nipple-colored.”

He quoted Sun Tzu I figure I throw in some Genghis Khan and other Mongolian Proverbs..
Basically surrender or die, show no mercy to your enemies for they will give none to you..

I don't think the statement is designed to tell the NCAA that UM intends to pursue this matter in court and, certainly, is not about taunting.

I think the benefit is to press the position again and keep the position out in public. It is another news report addding to the drumbeat. It makes clear to the public that the BOT is standing with President Shalala. There's not a divided house behind her. It also avoid the media asking questions of BOT members and getting mixed or unclear responses. It allows the BOT to speak with one voice at one time.

The statement is dignified, respectful and well played.

I absolutely thing the NCAA's statement backing Emmert is a direct response to the BOT statement. In effect they are saying, "you are backing your guy (lady) and we are backing our guy. Now these are the players, we are not changing, let's make a deal."

No way! You don't agree with how this is being handled? Be quiet and Miami "Shalala" should speak? Speak up and Miami "Shalala" should be quiet? That's your approach? Brilliant!!!!

So right after the NCAA board gives Emmert a vote of confidence, Miami's board of trustees puts this out to back up Donna.

There's a fight brewing...
