Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 415459, member: 780"] It's not true to the extent it is at Maryland because --- and I keep saying this but it somehow doesn't sink in --- Maryland has to have the Terp Club money because the State law does not allow the school to use General Fund money for athletics. If those funds dry up, Maryland can't have an athletic program. So the Terrapin Club has inordinate power. The whole episode with the firing of Drissell's replacement, Bob Wade is a case in point. The President and the AD thought Wade would be ideal. The Terrapin Club didn't like the idea. 18 months later, Wade was fired, the AD was fired and the President was effectively fired. [/QUOTE]
