Who’s decision was that? They absolutely need to be under the athletic department. Who can decide to shift them back?


This all happened when Jindal slashed state funding. All departments in campus started cannibalizing each other. SoM wanted the GBFTL money under their purview so they could rearrange the deck chairs. Tiger Band has not been elite since then. Then Roy King, then Linda leaves, etc. etc.

Yep. It was essentially a cash grab by the School of Music, and it happened under Alleva and F*King Alexander's watch. Once Frank Wickes retired and Linda left, the steal was on. Roy King tried to hang on for a few years, but when he stood up to Damon Talley and Todd Queen, they got him fired.
