How can he stay silent, especially now as the call has been shown to be correct? He must be afraid of his fan base and their reaction. He's just sitting idly by as his University's reputation spirals along with his integrity in reference to "Rivaling Right" . I think his silence will prove to be a big mistake eventually. What he is doing is pretty much the opposite of what a real leader does in this type of situation. Spineless inaction. It must be what all ALUFs feel they must do in the environment they have created up there.
