I have given large sums to my alma mater TTU (not to brag but it approaches seven figures) and this is an outrage. No more, not a dime. (I only wish I could take some of it back.)

Like many others, I am done giving money to the school. The gross display of neolithic incompetence simply staggers my imagination. Meyers, Guy and Hance need to be replaced and I for one wont give another penny to the school until they are gone. There is no point in donating to a program that will take that money and pay Coach Leach with it. Dont get me wrong, I believe the school is in material breach of contract with Mike, and he should get his day in court. I just cant see sending in money that will automatically go towards payment of his contract.

So much for being a Tier-1 Program. This action by the schools administration ruins the actuality and perception of Texas Tech as anything but a second rate school run by the “Good Old Boys Club” in Lubbock.

Hance, Meyers and Guy should all be terminated, and be culpable for repayment of the contract they themselves violated.

The administration did not act in the best of interest of the school. The had a personal grudge against Leach from day one and denied him due process. After 10 years at the helm Leach deserved the benefit of the doubt and should have coached in the Alamo Bowl. The school could have conducted a full investigation to get to the truth. Instead they took the word of daddy’s little girl Adam James and declared Leach guilty without a trial.

Why was the coach not repremanded if in fact the admin though he got out of line. The over-reactive result indicates that someone wanted him gone. I believe coach Leach’s story.

Thanks for reporting our story. We are mad as hell and we won’t take it anymore. Hance and Myers are antideluvian antqiuarians and need to fade away. They blew it, and guess what. TTU is not getting my money until they’re gone. P.S. I’m 66 years old, and the Hance and Myers guys are older in their thinking than I am.

Great article. And, by the way, to the other commenters that think we can’t get over Leach–this has less to do with the actual firing of Leach and more to do with seeking the truth. We have an interest as students, alumni, and donors for the administration to appropriately use OUR money. Firing Leach was a monumental mistake. They basically threw away our winning lottery ticket.
