I think you can be confident that day to day running of a world renowned institution with 10,000 employees, 20,000 students, and an endowment of $5,000,000,000 probably is enough background to head a perfunctory Board of Trustees that meets a handful of times a year.

I'm not sure I agree. The legendary Dean Vernon Wormer was easily as accomplished as this guy and the NYRA board may be closer to Delta Tau Chi than we realize.

Does this mean that NYRA is on double secret probation now?

Good thing they knocked out some important items today like officers being able to wager. I was worried Ellen McClain was using inside info to move the pools.

At least he's honest! How many CEO's come into a new company and admit that they know little about the field/industry that the company is competing in?

LMAO when I read this thread this AM. Only thing better than Steve's response including 20,000 students was the AH quotes.

Always remember:

Vegetables are sensual.
People are sensuous.

BTW - the choice of the new NYRA guy still does not let me place a legal bet in Missouri.

"There is a little known codicil in The New York State constitution, which gives the Governor unlimited power in times of campus emergency. Find me a way to revoke NYRA's charter. Put Neidermeyer on it, he's a sneaky little **** just like you."
