[QUOTE="TechAdvisor, post: 2664874, member: 69934"] 1. The Double Eagle guys sold their previous company for $2.8B and have just raised another $1B for a new company. They're not '5-figure donors that think they get 7-figure donor influence'. They're T. Boone Pickens level potential donors....and they're not in their 90's, so they have plenty of earning and giving potential left. 2. They had pledged to fund the South Endzone renovation for Jones AT&T Stadium back in January, but have now threatened to pull that funding. Let's hope cooler heads prevail. 3. I have no reason to believe they made up the Holgerson thing and even better, I don't know what they stand to gain by making it all up. If you just wanted to make up a lie to cause the most traction, hurt the AD and hurt the biggest rival possible, why not just make up a lie about Lincoln Riley instead? The Holgerson thing had multiple separately identified sources. It was 100% accurate. After a little more research on Wells and listening to his press conference, I'm now leaning towards Hocutt believing Matt Wells was just the best man for the job. Wells talks and has a similar belief system to Chris Beard and Tim Tadlock. No clue if he can win like them but he sounds like he's cut from the same cloth. I can now see what Hocutt saw in Matt Wells. It's a HUGE risk, especially if KSU now hires Littrell. Hocutt's hire will be directly compared to whatever Littrell can accomplish in Manhatten and somewhat to whatever Holgerson does going forward. [/QUOTE]
