As more came out on their side, Bjork was apparently genuinely caught off guard when things leaked at media day.
Like I said from the beginning, it made no sense that A&M would’ve been responsible for that leak to have Bjork flailing in the wind like he was when he got asked. Also explains why Jimbo just kinda chuckled and blew it off as “yeah sure”.
They’ve had three Presidents in the last 6 months between a retirement, interim and new appointment. And it sounds like along the way each admin had thought the other clued the athletic department in.
From the sound of it, A&M’s upper administration has been on board with this for awhile now - and for whatever reason it never got funneled down to the AD.
Pretty massive screw up, obviously, but also explains the mixed messaging on whether or not A&M was “kept in the dark” as we saw in the immediate aftermath of the leak.
Parts of their BOR meetings the last couple of weeks have been dedicated to “how the **** did this breakdown in communication happen and who’s responsible?”
