I don't want any statements coming from JB unless it is to say that Bernie has been terminated.
Mind you, I'm not asking for Bernie to be terminated, but rather I want JB to keep his mouth shut until this whole thing has run its course. If it is a personnel decision...i.e. if a member of his staff is "leaving", then fine. Let him make that statement.
But as an alumnus, I want all other communication regarding this matter to come straight from the top; not Gross, and certainly not the basketball coach. I want the Chancellor of my alma mater to directly handle all communication from this point forward. JB's shots from the hip reflect on the University and this is much bigger than JB or his friendship with Bernie.
JB has made his statements and he has made some statements back-peddling. He has said enough.
With the degree that this has blown up as an SU issue and not merely a basketball issue, I want the Chancellor to be the face of all further communication. Period.
