Stephen F Austin's board voted to join the Texas (UT-Austin) system very recently, so never say never. If ISU were ever taken over by IU, Purdue, or someone else then I'd be done too. I want nothing to do with either one of those schools.

I have never heard anything like this in any meetings I’ve been a part of… Terre Haute - specifically Union Health has always had similar rumors surrounding IU Health acquiring them which has never really come close to happening. That was a little more reasonable too considering that IU Health had inked similar deals with other independent hospitals in the state.
So to hear somewhat similar speculation is really not all that surprising I guess - I think Indiana State’s enrollment struggles sort of open them up to that sort of wild speculation. I’m being nice for those of you just openly discussing the possibility like it’s something we should be talking about.
But again - that’s as far as I am willing to go because I’m literally not entertaining this beyond what I’ve already said.

Are they retaining their organization but just turning over business operations?
FOUR of the (6, six) texas-based University "systems" (texas, texas a&m, texas state & texas tech) all pitched their wares to SFA... they opted for ut b/c "...would increase the access to resources, grow the prestige and awareness of the institution and give them a more powerful voice to advocate for needs in the legislature." https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/stephen-f-austin-state-university-is-becoming-part-of-the-ut-system-will-it-change-its-name/#:~:text=The SFA Board of Regents,name change, per KETK reporting.
Can't say I blame them; ut owns that state like gloomington owns the indiana st. capitol building... much like gloomington, the MAJORITY of twerps strolling around in butt0-ass ugly burnt orange are NOT alumni but merely someone who got a "sweet deal" on swag @ wal-mart.
from what it appears; the different campuses have separate alumni groups but the ut system regents oversee the system...

ut-Nacogdoches will become second hand quickly; they'll end up adding the ugly-ass burnt orange to their purple and white
and I guarantee the admin at SFA will offer alumni the opportunity to receive a "new diploma" that sez ut-Nacogdoches vice SFA
Sorry my post was late to the party. I meant the Alumni Board drafting a no-confidence resolution. Why haven’t they done that?
What about PU-TH???
We’ve been called that for years… why the hell not etch it in stone.
Has this ever been done in the past? What gives you the idea that doing so will be effective?

It'll make the news. It will apply pressure to the BOTs. It will give alums that are disillusioned with ISU right now feel like they have a voice. It will put the Prez and her admin on notice that the Alums aren't messing around. It will show ISU admins they can't just do what they want without consequences. So on and so on.....

Is this included in the Democrat ethos? Look at the bios of the BOT's... I sent an E-mail to an ol' Gradute classmate in the Summer of '78. I'd forgotten his Party...an "almost Governor" who is now counsel for ICEMILLER and is NOT familiar w/ his alma mater? Whatever happened to his Sandbornism?

FRED, I have to confess I’m totally unaware of the issue involving the ISU baseball team in the college World Series. I’ve spent the last two weeks visiting family out west. Sorry.
Since the 2016 election and Indiana’s turn to the far right, I have not been actively engaged in government and have spent my time focused on my law practiced. And because of the overwhelmingly Republican control of state government, I know virtually, no one, other than the governor, a handful of legislators and I know virtually no county officials anymore.
In fact, I have not even met the ISU president. I don’t even have any idea who’s on the board of trustees. Afraid I don’t have the connections you may think.
I have not been in touch with Dr. Maxam in a number of years. I regret it deeply , and last I knew he was living in Hendricks County.
Respectfully, John.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wait... So John took the time to send you a sincere personal e-mail and you just put him on blast on a public form? Why? What does it do? Tells us that John Gregg is an unengaged - uninfluential alum that is not willing to help? Oh great - so he's like 95% of our alums we don't need an e-mail from to tell us what we already know.
I don't get it. I mean I doubt he wants his entire e-mail shared with the public - it wasn't earthshattering either way so I just don't understand what this does to move the conversation forward?

As a Terre Hautean, you just don't get it, do you? He's counsel for IceMiller and "unengaged?" Naww...he's just a Hoosier Democrat playing the game. This situation will only be "moved forward" politically, regardless of your Scott School of Business "insight." Btw, what loss estimates are being "tossed around" by the School of Business re: ISU's "giving away" the Super Regional? I ve only seem Patterson's broad stroked guess of 250k to 750k.

Don't get what? What are you talking about Fred? I knew better than to try and engage you on this...
Why didn't you just say - "I talked to former Indiana Gov. candidate John Gregg and current counsel for IceMiller and he told me he's never even met the President of Indiana State and was not even aware of the issue going on with us not hosting the Super Regional. Tells you all you need to know about our influential alumni and how the feel about Indiana State."
And if you really think his response was politically motivated and just an outright lie - you really think he would waste the time giving you the time of day with a detailed response as to why he was out of touch, who he's talked to, who he hasn't talked to... Alex Jones conspiracy theory hour over here. Good grief.
How is that for getting it Fred?! All I said to you, is why would you share his private e-mail back-and-forth with you? I don't know the guy at all - I just am not sure that he would have wanted you to put his entire e-mail on blast. If you think that is okay or normal behavior - then do you man... But don't come on here and tell me I don't get it and then give me some horse shit word vomit about where my "insight" comes from. I think everyone here is well aware of who "gets" things that are going on here in Terre Haute and with Indiana State and who doesn't. Go bark up another tree...

First of all, it wasn't YOUR e-mail, so don't try to stuff your bullshit down my throat. And if you think THIS Board aligns w/ your positions on every topic, you've got a lot of growing up to do.
You've been around here long enough to know that I VERY RARELY try to align myself with anyone on anything... I don't have opinions and make posts worrying about who aligns with me on any topic. So consider me grown up.
