Im now wondering if this whole committee thing was a Babcock misdirection
To allow Babcock to work his behind the scenes magic without a lot of scrutiny. As he wasn't "officially" a part of the search, no one expected a whole lot from him. Heck, we were writing his obituary. Now we've learned that he was the essential man in the middle. Im just wondering if this whole thing was some kind of master stroke to throw everyone off his scent.

I'd argue he's done very well as AD, minus the football program. **ducks**
