Now is the time I would implore everyone collectively to use their brains.
Think man. Did anyone say anything about people in our athletic department using our opinion to make a decision? No.

But our opinion is a data point that is important, especially when the stadium is half empty on homecoming. Y'all say we should speak with our money and not go to games, but then say the athletic department doesn't use our opinion to make decisions? Can't have it both ways. Either we make an impact or we don't.

And no it wouldn't be on all the boards. You don't have the knowledge to know who has or hasn't received information to run with. Coach 34s track record is irrelevant. He's not necessarily being given correct information. That's the whole point of this. As a person who gives out information passed to him, he doesn't have the luxury of knowing what's true or false. Again, that's the whole point.

Not sure why this concept is so hard to understand. The university has a lot of ways to gather information to paint a holistic picture. Our opinion is one of those data points. It's not a big one, but it matters.
