As a Rice alum, I think you are being shortsighted. Maybe KTRU had outlived its time--that's a debate that would have been worth having (I loved it in the 80s). However, that debate was not had because Leebron secretly negotiated the sale and only announced it once it was a fait accompli. So, given that Leebron is willing to do this with KTRU, you have to ask yourself--is there any other asset at Rice that he might be considering selling to raise money for his pharoanic building schemes? Is there some part of Rice that you, as an alumnus, treasure that Leebron might right now be in the process of selling--without consulting the alumni or the students? The answer is--could be!
