Joel Ferguson is still a douche-bag

Do we blame Joel or do we blame the lazy reporter and editor who let this tripe into the paper. Ron Mason has done a good job of creating distance between the MSU AD office and Trustee Ferguson. After the BW debacle Joel tried to force Marvin Lewis on MSU to continue the Ferguson hand in MSU football. JLS is Joel's worst nightmare. Smith is winning with BW's players. The players aren't shy about talking about the difference in coaching styles and the results.

Joel is all about Joel. Always has been, always will be. Joel became a trustee to add another impressive title to his resume. That helps when applying for US government business loans and FCC broadcast licenses. After he gets the FCC approval, he sells the stations making $$$.

He uses his trustee he has ever held to further himself regardless of what's left in the wake. While I'm not a huge fan of any individual members, the other trustees seem to want to work as a board rather than seeking the star spotlight.
