I have read many posts relating to the Haslam family influence. I have been at games where members of the family have been recognized for their donations. Evidently, I don't have the ability to see some of the dots you guys do so, I am wondering if the influence is pure conjecture? A couple of years ago when one of the brothers was governor, he actually defended his family and said that they have/had nothing to do with what was transpiring on the hill with Curry, Davenport, Dipietro and then Fulmer weaseling his way back in and, all that mess that was transpiring and had transpired.
Were/are they really influencing Dipietro and others to make decisions they wanted or were they actually the scape goat for all our troubles? The last "proof" of influential booster involvement in the football program that I am aware of was the KNS publishing Fulmers phone calls with a booster and that was almost thirty years ago.
There are so many conspiracy theories involving them that have been rampant on this board. I've read some say they were for Fulmer being AD and some say Fulmer being AD was a thumb up to them. Have read where they were the ones that installed Curry (for whatever reason) and when Davenport fired him, they had Dipietro fire her. Then, I've read on here where the other boosters have turned on them.
I am genuinely curious as to how much power they possess. Are they as powerful as Crowder was down at Auburn?
