re: Alleva handled this like he handled Duke lacrosse. ..

My take on what happen..and I have no inside info.

- Bunch of money booster came to Alleva and said we can get Jimbo.

- Alleva says "OK" cause his job is to keep the money flowing.

- Money boosters and friends can't keep trap shut.

- It leaked to various sources and it was going to happen. Some approached Jimbo and made the deal...$30 million for 5 years. Jimbo was interested.

- As Saturday loomed closer, the leak is worse. Fans are ticked. Boosters are getting scared to be associated with the Miles deal.

- Miles gets word and figures he is done. Entire family at game. Fan are cheering for the Hat. Boosters and Admin has second thoughts.

- Boom. Jimbo says "No Thanks". Booster who wanted/needed a Jimbo type hire start to back off.

- Not enough money or boosters to continue, administration abandons ship, leaving the captain, Alleva.

- Alleva looks like the bad guy, but then again, he allowed this to happen. Guy has to lead and control the program, or GTFO.

Alleva is getting thrown under the bus, but he could have prevented this.
