Which strike you as having "clout/athletic understanding"?

Up until a year or so ago, the chairman of the board of trustees for Holy Cross was Jack Lentz, star quarterback of the football team and someone who played for the Denver Broncos for a few seasons as safety after graduating. Jack engineered when of the last upsets of BC in football in 1966.
I thought Stan Grayson was on the board and he played on the basketball team while at HC but obviously is not on the board now.
Though I understand that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas tried out for the football team, he doesn't qualify as someone with knowledge of sports at HC anymore than I do.
The board seems to be made up of captains of industry and education. Not bad for a board, but certainly folks that will probably make tough, unemotional, financial decisions and not prone to spend money without getting a good returnon investment.
Your last paragraph: Exactly why I posted the names. You are correct in your assessment. With all due respect, I'd say with a reasonable degree of probability that even the Holy Cross alumni/ae on the Board have seen few if any athletic contests in recent years.
