Maybe it’s just me, but threatening fellow institutions with hollow warnings like “if any member decided to leave, they would regret it later on” seems kind of counter-productive to maintaining a cohesive conference.
Then again, Boren has never impressed me as being one of the sharper tools in the shed.
Boren is a former US Senator, ergo he is presumed a dimwit.
Holy big-ass ad banners, batman!
Er…. Senator. Boren Graduated from Yale where he was a Phi Beta Kappa. He also was a Rhodes Scholar and got his Masters from Oxford.
P.S. He also graduated from the University of Oklahoma Law School. That must be where he unlearned any smarts he had.
