re: Roy King is suing LSU

Small price to pay to get rid of employee(s) you don't want anymore.
Hell, Craft is pretty much on the LSU payroll now.

My gut feeling is he deserves comoensation !

Looks like there are some folks who have recently joined this thread and are rehashing - which is a good thing, really.

Anyone who has been following the bouncing ball (following reporting, reading documents, and -in some cases, perhaps- communicating with named players in this saga) knows that:

1. This situation is trumped-up BS in an effort to gain control of a considerable amount of funds ($1.5MM/yr. according to one court document). Whether or not Roy King is competent to be TGBFTL director or whether TGBFTL is performing to some imaginary or proscribed level is just a side show meant to distract.

2. The vast majority of the funding over which this fight is obviously about comes from donors -directly or indirectly- who support football game day events and traditions. This is not a group that, by definition, will necessarily be convinced that their contributed monies are just as well spent on a much-needed bassoonist or a soprano vocal major (even if she's really hot). Colorado is not even in the same hemisphere when it comes to college football fans so, whatever TQ 'accomplished' there will certainly not apply at LSU. Bottom line: these much sought-after funds will significantly dry up if not used for their intended purpose. Bunch of dadgum morons who can't see that.

3. An Opinion: I'm not convinced that the actual band members are heavily invested or educated in this story. After all, it has been timed to coincide with the end of the school year, which has involved finals and move out plans. That's going to be pretty much the focus for the majority of TGBFTL members. Therefore, I would be very surprised to see any action from that group coalescing next fall, or at least from that group in its entirety.
