Is that a hunch or inside information?

I'm genuinely confused - I heard numbers like hundreds of millions of dollars, but how?

Inside. Most of this is Robbins, who’s in CYA mode to keep his job

Irresponsible spending. This is separate from the $240mil oversight

Will that work? Or is he out the door as well?

I’m trying to think what it could be. Unauthorized use of the private jet??

It’s almost as if we’ve realized over last several months that most university leaders aren’t actually very smart.

Mack Rhoades of Baylor is a logical choice (from Tucson, and a UofA alum) - I wonder if he would take the job.

Meanwhile, I wonder what Crow and Co. have been doing all this time, in terms of evaluating AD candidates.

Arizona is expected to hire Missouri's Desireé Reed-Francois as the next athletic director, per ESPN.

She did a really good job at Missouri. Their fans are not happy she left. I read she is very good at bringing in donations. Plus, she is a UofA Law graduate. Welcome aboard!
