You must have never sat in on a board meeting.

The idea that the information is more reliable because it was prepared by his lordship the honorable Whit Babcock to present to the high lords on the VT BOV is laughable. Let me let you in on a little secret about life: The BS you're sold about meritocracy and the highly educated elite is a giant scam, and all it takes to figure that out is to get in the room with them. Those people may have country club memberships and make a lot of money, but they don't have any better an idea about what's going on that most people on here. They're just winging it, making it all up as they go. This isn't exactly rocket science they're talking about; it's all relatively simple. If they had any clue about anything, VT football, and VT athletics as a whole, wouldn't be in the shape it's in.

As a public document they are likely withholding sensitive info

I don't think "they" meant for it to be public, at least not-
