I assure you, I am neither. I just think there would be some sort of general narrative, from either named or anonymous sources, coming out of UT that supports that.
Instead, there's not. There's not really anything. People just seem to be lukewarm and watching what will happen.
Part of the reason I don't buy into it is that I've given up worrying about how colleges and universities hire damn near anyone outside of athletic coaches. They aren't even on the same planet as the rest of us with how wrapped up in political correctness they are. All of them. Every single one. No sense in bogging myself down in it.
Sucks to watch UT do it too, but it's the world we're in. My hope is that just because the openings they are filling have roots in the Title IX nonsense, they aren't the liberal athletics hating sleeper cells some seem to have decided they are. There's a benefit to success on both sides, maybe, just maybe, they see that.
