Please say it isn’t so!!!! They will never fine another President that has done so much for ASU and has had such a love and passion for the University. Bryan, you will be missed!

I have a feeling there is fixin to be a HUGE scandal at ASU in the next 6 months. I cant tell you why, just a sinking, resigning feeling.

Usually when someone that holds a prestigious position like his resigns abruptly, without explanation, they have made a terrible blunder. I'll be curious to see how this story 'develops'.

It could be that. Or it could be that recent pressures have put him in a compromising position. Given that politics just showed up on his doorstep like a cold war tank in the recent international incident which took place at ASU, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure the source of his troubles will be put into sight soon enough.

A tank is the obvious. It cant be the tank. Maybe the tank was sent by a uncontrollable "controlled opposition" or perhaps other people's reactions to the tank roaming the halls was misjudged? One thing you can never predict is everyone's reaction or line of thinking.
