Sure, they have too much say in what happens, but until the fan base bands together to economically make a statement, or a coalition of boosters make a statement, nothing will change.
Everything points to Haslam being ran out of town. Who has the stones to start the movement. If 100 people showed up today it would go viral and he'd be gone by the end of the week!
It needs to be done somehow. It's down to damage control now. Recruits are gonna feel as though they've been lied to. All this falls on the AD whom a lot of us feel is Haslam's yes man. Only way to fight back is to boycott Pilot and Neyland. We have no other legal choice. That's a good start.
The only real way to get rid of the booster Haslam, Jimmy or Jim?, is to disassociate with him, this basically black listing him from any university event that involves boosters and what not.
It's done when boosters are found to have committed NCAA infractions. Now idk how that would work in this case, but it's very clear that Haslam has harmed the university in a large way with this power play.
As far as Bill goes, he'll be out in due time, and no one in their right mind would try and appoint him President of UT or you will see another protest from fans and students and possibly faculty.
It can be done, but it would be hard to do I think.

Haslams own UT. Get used to it.
What the other boosters need to do is get together en masse and force the Haslams to listen. No more bought ADs, no more fake coaching searches, etc. These guys not named Haslam that are putting big money into UT have got to be livid. If they coordinate their efforts, I'm sure the Haslams will listen. If not, the money from other big boosters will fade and it will be more of the same - only Haslam will have even more control. No one wants that, but I'd guess that's what it's come down to.
Please!!!! Your type of fandom is what the problem is. How much money have you put into the program? Big donations equal big say......we are much better with the haslams than without.
Without the Sandusky ties, Schiano gets hired. That's the truth. Yes it would've been an ugly welcoming, but the whole reason Schiano got rejected outright is because of the Sandusky ties. UT fans would've been pissed but there would've been nothing we could do about it. See Derek freaking Dooley...We literally just saw thousands of fans kill an all but a done deal on a head coach, do you honestly think that if that same kind of outrage was directed at the university until the haslams are gone that it wouldn't happen?
I know you don't want to hear this but Clay Travis and others are backing the fans and if the fans want to get this done, it'll happen rather the Haslams like it or not
It's all a matter of getting the fans to direct their rage at the right people and Clay Travis is leading the charge, he's just the kind of helicopter guy who would to be known as the guy to take down the Haslam Mafia
