The Bold Fresh Continues

Earlier, I mentioned how Baylor went all-in over the weekend with its social media to attempt and keep itself attached to the Texas 4 of the Big 12.

Ken Starr ups the ante today with another message to the Bear faithful, posted this time on the athletic department website.

Let's put the irony of a purported conservative jurist in Baylor's new president invoking the need for government hearing and intervention into what essentially is private corporate matters, the bold and direct call for fans to get involved with the politics here is the interesting point.

In the past, one might see a university president issue a letter to the editor of the local or statewide paper to get a point across. Today, they simply have to have the willingness -- dare I say the guts -- to put themselves out there on a world wide stage.

And Starr isn't alone. Famous graduate of another team in the midst of the Big 12 crucible, Missouri, has Tweeted his support for the leadership of his alma mater. Chase Daniel opined: Everybody relax...Missouri WILL land in a BCS conference...have faith in the leaders of our great University and State!
