The staff hasn’t gotten to Piper yet. You think just because Piper says that they are a “text” or a call away that they automatically answer DP every time he texts?
Piper has no clue what’s going on here, his hand is being forced because of the National Snow article. And Snow has no idea either just like he didn’t with Jones up until the last minute
The staff is in a good position here and the Nesbitt’s are keeping things close to the chest, which is good. Things have not changed in a couple weeks, this announcement is only on the heels of one momentum shift... and that’s when the Nesbitt’s made Illinois their leader and decided THAT was the best option. Nothing since then has changed...
The National punditS here just don’t know it yet because everything has been so SLU heavy up to this point..
