Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 3917425, member: 153"] The President of OSU has been taken to task for his handling of the Les Miles saga at LSU. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/31121644/oregon-state-president-f-king-alexander-offers-resign-role-miles-saga[/URL] The president has now resigned. But I'm only writing this because the president -- in resigning -- has unloaded on LSU and what went on there (remember, Mark Emmert is also a former SU Pres.). I'm taking some of this from the Chronicle of Higher Ed. which is behind a paywall. This is a little bit (less than 10%) of what he said: [Alexander had been hired during the investigation and in his first week was told the board had already made the decision to retain Miles]. Oh, and not only was the board the people who made all decisions related to athletics over the president's head, but athletics seemed to answer directly to the board: Athletics was taking directions from the board as to how to report complaints. Other decisions made by the President had nothing to do with athletics but lead to the board turning against him: Ultimately though it's the President's fault. He should have called them out and bore the brunt of the ramifications. If it meant his career as a President was over, so be it. That's called ethics. Instead, his actions long after the situation have lead to this: LSU is right now looking for a new President. Good luck I say. One wonders how B1G institutions can continue to compete with the SEC once we go to a pay for play model. [/QUOTE]
