Sure, we are both entitled to our opinions and I respect yours. You're correct in that I choose to trust what Jay and OV have provided. Could they be wrong? Absolutely, but I believe them to be honest and genuine. I also feel they have been very consistent from the beginning even with this being an admittedly fluid situation.
There is nothing wrong with skepticism; I don't blame you. I do think comparing Jay and OV to what OCI has done is ludicrous.
Why would Hart mention Gruden to Skeeter? Have you seen anything that would indicate that Hart tells Skeeter everything going on in the department? Basillio says that the boosters are doing the negotiating, not Hart. At this point with UT not being able to do anything officially, it would make a lot of sense for Hart to keep his distance.
It also would make a lot of sense if the guys who have been giving information are getting it from booster sources, not the AD. That would explain why a lot of the normally reliable posters were clueless, as I believe most of them get their info from the AD.

Still no one even attempts to debate this issue. Not surprising.
Fair point, but don't you think it's odd they call out OCI and others out for being late to the party when confirming things, then later call them a fraud for (to use your terms) sharing what they've heard?
While the boosters may be the money behind the decision, I find it hard to believe that the AD would not be an active participant or even leading the negotiations for the most important position in the athletic department (economically speaking).
If Hart isn't leading the discussions then what is UT paying him for?
Hey jay, I missed your original posts on the situation. Are you with SBV in that it is a done deal?
