Approx 15-20 years back I recall reading a biography about Golda Meir that made frequent reference to her ‘kitchen cabinet’ where key government officials would gather over cigarettes and cups of coffee to make hard national decisions. Given the reporting I’ve read on Kevin G’s decision to stay at MSU, and the behind the scenes influence of figures in the Athletics department and University Advancement, I wonder if a similar cabinet here could be called the ‘varsity squad.’
