Trev to A&M

True, I just picked the names people here would recognize. A lot of unintended consequences to this power struggle that general public doesn't see and don't realize. Loss of professors, inability to recruit good professors, the brain drain is real and will be devastating. The current desire to squash this 'woke' movement in academia is major problem in the not too distant future and is already having some very unsavory side effects. A lot of leopards will be full on faces.

This is why politics has no place in academia. Teach the facts about governments and strengths and weaknesses of all types from authoritarian to democratic republics but keep the personal opinions and beliefs out of the subject matter. Somehow the ultra left and extreme right can't get this through their thick heads and they both push their agenda's and indoctrinations. Enforce curriculum while also enforcing institutional indoctrination. I mean seriously, did the world learn nothing from the mistakes leading up to the 2nd great war?? Indoctrination of any type is purely disgusting be it political, religious, biological, or any other.. Just stop with indoctrination principles and a lot of the differences suddenly becomes indifference to/with one another and real change/advances occur.

For those of us in Omaha, people still complain about his actions at UNO. I had a conversation about this a couple of weeks ago.  Local wrestling is still pissed. 

I cut part of your post because it wasn't important to the conversation. 

Context has meaning.

Now we know why you don’t like Trev.  You’re still pissed about UNO.

Regarding Trev’s comments, will the political situation be any different at Texas A&M?

While texas is a red state on a national scale, the political meddling (from what a former colleague says who works at a small state school) is fairly minimal. He says there are enough opposing electorates at the state/local level to help balance it out so it doesn't sway too far in either direction for state universities.

People need to realize a moving truck is maybe .05% of Rhule's yearly salary.

True, it would not take a lot to move again when the next opportunity comes up. However if he's committed to the school, program, state, etc. to the point of actually moving his parents in their 70s halfway across the country, that's a very good sign for all involved. Now hopefully he can enjoy success on the field, our administration uses his wisdom/input in making some crucial decisions, and everything stabilizes in the levels above our coaches and programs.

Huge Dreamer.

I actually think this sums it all up and I’m moving on.  He did a lot of good things.  He probably could have done more.  But that’s not real life.  Even if you’re the best, you’re going to have to work with what you have.  Many chose to do the best they can in the environment they are in.  Others don’t.  It is what it is.
 

The more I read, the more I think this was a douche move.  This just adds to his dump truck full of douche moves.

Huge Dreamer = Sourpuss to me. Peace out Trev.
