OK, Knuck did not see my post, so I will just go ahead and say it.
95% sure the Beav is FOS. I have heard this from other folks in the VC world, the type of info he gives out and very big money boosters, just not of UT. All of them said he would be fired in an instance if info that sensitive would ever be released.
And his use of "We" is very suspect, like he is actually part of the negotiations. Again see above why folks involved don't really do that.
These same folks stated that VC's wouldn't really get involved in athletics that much, not enough return, and surely wouldn't be so involved on the college level, unless the head of the VC was a crazy booster. Also that Ergen was not associated at a high level with the MIT group. They said if he was involved at all it would be from a very low level, sideline stance and wouldn't involve sports at all on an amateur level.
That this for what is worth, I am not trying to burst anyones bubble. One of the folks that told me this I literally trust with my life as he and his wife are my daughters god parents. He runs in the same circles as Ergen if you know what I mean.
I am not saying that Gruden is not happening, but trusting the beav, I am not sure that is a good thing.
That being said if the beav would like to contact me I would be more than happy to discuss this or even put him in touch with my friend (who also went to UT, but transferred to Vandy to graduate).
I really want Gruden as much as anyone, but I am getting pissed about being played for a sucker.
Thank you for this, and I haven't ever put much stock in the Beav. He is entertaining and I like the potshots he takes at people on twitter...I can be immature lol...but as a source, not so much, for me, anyway.
