Exactly. CBS can blame Billy Graham Ministries all they want.
They don’t have the balls to attack the Duke Foundation or the rest of the Alumni.
Yep, no doubt. They can tell Billy Graham to put it to music. The alumni association(s), not so much. I’ve seen what happens to a u president that tries that.
At my small university in a western state, we had a football team that just sucked. Totally worthless. The u prez decided to survey the faculty on whether they think the football team should stay or go. They voted overwhelmingly that it should go. The alumni found about it and unloaded on him asking, “How the hell could you even go there?!?!” They hated him ever after. The prez rationalizes that it’s the faculty’s fault for their (in his view) disloyalty to him and the school and he starts doing all kinds of assinine things to take revenge (like making the school be in session on state holidays so that everybody is screwed out of 3-day weekends, making spring break a 4-day weekend Thursday-Sunday instead of 9 days, administrative things like that). Now the students and faculty are pissed. Result: open warfare with the students, faculty, and alumni all wanting the president’s head. Faculty are talking openly in front of students about what an @$$#01E the president is and refusing to attend social functions. Somebody flattened his car tires. Talk about a three-ring circus. When that president left town, there were people standing at the edge of town with profane signs telling him what they thought of him.
