Alleva Termination Timeline - between October 13 and December 9?

I posted this in response to a thread a few days back, but this seemed better suited to its own topic. I'm hoping we have some folks in here who've actually dealt with the BOS on some level.

Perhaps someone more well versed in BOS procedure can correct me, but my reading of the BOS Bylaws is that only the BOS can take action on something like firing an Athletic Director (see "Matters Requiring Approval by the Board, Section 11(b), pg 11).

It also looks like any such "Significant Board Matter" would have to be submitted to F. King for notice (but not his approval) at least 15 days prior to the next regularly scheduled board meeting, although in "exceptional circumstances" which should be "rare," it looks like you can get away with as little as 5 days' notice (see "Timing for submission of proposals," Section D(1), pg 14). My guess is that's exigent circumstances like the university about to go bankrupt, not getting Alleva out 2 weeks sooner.

There is a BOS meeting a week from Friday on October 13, but the deadline to submit agenda items is September 14, 2017. That's much more than 15 days before the meeting, so perhaps that deadline is for non-significant board matters, and things like Alleva could still get onto the agenda.

I'm guessing that's for normal agenda items under Article IV, Section 4 on pg. 3, not Significant Board Matters or the like. Either way it would have had to be on the agenda by Thursday, September 28 to make it into this meeting unless the "rare" 5 day notice was somehow invoked. The agenda for the 10/13 meeting is not yet online, so it's not possible to know if an Alleva firing is on the Agenda yet, or if it will be there at all.

Article II, Section 2 on page 2 allows for the Chair to call a special meeting anytime, or the Secretary can do it if 9 other BOS memebers sign off on it. I'm not clear on if a Significant Board Matter can be handled this way, but I don't see a clear prohibition on it either. Again, if anyone else more politically savvy than me has more details, fire away.

Long/Short, it doesn't appear that Alleva can be fired on one person's whim, like a game show. It looks like it'll take time to make it happen properly, even once it's obvious it needs to happen. For example, Rick Pitino is on video offering six figure payoffs to college basketball recruits, and even Louisville has to wait 10 days to fire him. With this kind of money at stake it has to be done right, and doing it right takes time.

If anyone has info to the contrary, or any info on how easy it is to call a special meeting, how often it happens, or how "rare" it is to slide items onto the agenda at the last minute, fire away.
