Tyler Summitt: No Show

[PawDawg]

Tyler was on with Fletcher PROMPTLY this morning FWIW.

He is batting 2 for 6 at being on time or showing up lately. .333 isn't bad.

Here is another shocking revelation: neither being a season ticket purchaser, nor an LTAC donor, nor a taxpayer buys any of us stock in Louisiana Tech University. Nor does it buy us any leverage, power, or say so in the governance of the University.

Being an alumnus gives us all 3. That's where you are wrong. I'll leave it to HD to call you idiotic from now on.

If the benefactor/donor doesn't get a semblance of empowerment/privilege or sense of worth with their gift - then in most instances that donor/benefactor will shift those monies elsewhere...

I believe it gives us an ear into which we can speak, and the ability to influence governance, but it doesn't give us decision-making power or the privilege of full-disclosure. Giving someone a semblance of empowerment/privilege or sense of worth is nothing more than sales...and is the job of leadership to keep us coming back to "buy."

People who mentally pervert that relationship so that they feel like they have power or some sort of say so either have a self-confidence problem or are ultra passionate about their university and want to feel like they're helping. I know everyone on this board falls into the latter category.

Those in the former category tend to post on the "other" board.
