i have since found out that the s.o.m. did have a clause in the contract for the athletic dept allocation of funds for tiger band. so, they actually did have a say and roy was basically giving them the finger for years and they got tired of it. apparently, he was offering way more than he should have to some students and was offering some students to come back for a 5th and 6th year.
I'm not sure where you get your info.....but you are 100% wrong. There was no "contract" between the SOM and athletics for the Tiger Band budget. Based on my info (and reading the letter from LSU accusing Roy of completely false accusations), there very well may be a "contract" or "memo" already in place (or in the near future) removing all control of the Tiger Band budget from the Athletic Department. Thus, allowing the SOM to control the money. During Roy's time (and Frank Wickes), the Athletic Department had 100% control over the budget. In fact, the SOM never even knew how much the Tiger band received from Athletics.

quote:it is my understanding the s.o.m. has say over some of the money, not all. hence, the issue. if they had no say at all, they would have no authority to question roy. this was my contention until i was informed otherwise.
