Who has the power now in this game?

If he really wants it, Steven Hicks has the most leverage. I do believe Powers may be playing the case of a savvy politician here, and will stand down when the time is right, but I will remain a little concerned until it plays out.

Bob Rowling will back down to very few. It's in his DNA.

With so many people to satisfy, this hasn't always worked well. I completely hate this process. It is the same at many blue-blood schools. I feel there should be an AD that reports to a GM, with final approval coming from the BOR. The school president should be in charge of academia.

Agreed. I think the "personal friendship" aspect of this mess has clouded the business aspect so much no one knows for sure what will really happen. Firing an employee is easy, firing a close friend is difficult, if not impossible should the bonds be strong enough.

My question for the time being: If Powers is really that close to retirement as some have said here, then what does he lose by choosing to simply say "No" and bring back his friend?

One recurring thing I've heard though out this is that Rowling is a powerful guy and is very involved.
