I'm still here in Nashville.  I've been having meetings with the central admin at Vanderbilt University the first part of this week.  As some of you may know, VU is eliminating their athletic department and merging it's assets into the intramural/student activities branch of the university.  At TCLS, we're interested in expanding our intramural/activities sector into a full-blown athletic department.  We hope to be competing in all D-IA sports within 3 years or so.  Judge Cooley has been in contact with Coach Nix about taking over our football program next year. Tomorrow morning I'm having breakfast with truth4usm.  I will be meeting with her tomorrow and Friday to discuss all of the events in the Thames crisis, and share files with her.  I've missed talk on this board the past few days, so I'm also hoping she updates me on that.  I'll report back soon, I hope.  Oh, and truth, let's meet at that restaurant tomorrow at 8:45am (in case we don't talk beforehand). Cheers. RM  "

RM, I've already talked with Chancellor Gee about your visit...he was very impressed with your bold new ideas for athletics and your committment to shared governance.  You know, with his bow ties, he does remind me of another black-and-gold administrator, if you know "who" I mean.

I'll see you in the morning at the Pancake Pantry 8:45am sharp.  Looking forward to the file-sharing!
