Best Scandal

The easiest way to inflame Texas-Exes these days is to simply make mention of the UT Board of Regents. Perry appointees all, the BoR have earned their reputation as backwards-thinking "advocates" for higher education. This past year, an overzealous regent, Wallace Hall, attempted to pin an admission scandal on UT President Bill Powers (which hasn't yet materialized), and did so in a very shady (and potentially illegal) manner. The upshot is, Powers was given the ultimatum by the BoR: resign or be fired. At the eleventh hour, Powers chose resignation, and the timeline agreed upon would have Powers stepping down by the end of 2015. Get your popcorn out, and let the shit-show continue.
