[URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/709516449526714368']27m27 minutes ago[/URL] Hopefully this is UT's power play to take initiative away from Boren & Gee & steer the B12's choices going forward.

UT also wasn't keen on adding AAC schools.

No reason given.

I did not verify this info. I don't hear from this source often but when I do it's important.

But he provided very little detail.
