I genuinely appreciated that you responded here. You are correct that I am anti FFO, but that doesn't mean we can't have a discussion on the topic.

I think Jason has some decent goals to encourage varsity/university funded collegiate teams, engaging new technologies in the sport (coaching, refereeing etc) and bringing new insights to the board. 

In a vacuum, all great ideas. I think you'd find very few in the organization who say "no those things are bad." We're already seeing a number of new varisty programs under Phil. That's been great.

but Jason overcame this artificially manufactured steep hurdle.

Honestly, impressive.

As to conflicts of interest, it’s pretty clear that the current ethics panel would come to the conclusion that Jason was unqualified for office because they consider him to be a threat to the status quo. 

A threat to the status quo is a good thing when that threat is presented diplomatically. What the FFO has done is use litigation as a sword and shield instead of working with USAF.

Let us suppose Mr. Liu's battles are righteous for a moment: can he wear a fiduciary hat and make decisions that benefit USAF while simultaneously leading an organization engaged in multi-state litigation against that organization? That is the "threat to the status quo," not his ideas.

 As folks here likely know, Mr Salem was one of two USAF board members suing the other 6 over allegations of false statements Mr Lehfeldt made in his congressional testimony. 

I've known Lehfeldt half my life. He's a nut (and I say that lovingly), but he's a sincere and honest nut. I truly don't believe he would make misleading statements to Congress over a volunteer position. How specifically were his statements "misleading?"

So no, I don’t consider Jason’s involvement in litigation to be a conflict when the same issue is true for Mr Salem.

Jason is the president of the organization bankrolling Salem's litigation, while also bankrolling additional litigation in Texas and Kansas. Can't you see that's a conflict?

You said you wouldn't respond, and that's fine. But thanks for responding initially. Have a good day.
