Step 5: Hide the Ball
Keep all potentially incriminating evidence under wraps, including people.
You have the power. You control the data. You control the people. There’s no reason you can’t hide the ball.

- Do not release the Sports Mix Study. As an absolute last resort, release an ‘abridged’ version.
- Do not release the team GPA of the University’s men’s club lacrosse team for the past two years.
- Do not release the names of donors who have already given to or verbally committed to give funds toward construction of University’s new visitors center. This may reveal a major conflict of interest as it relates to the University’s singular focus on standing up a men’s varsity lacrosse program at the expense of all else (see inner circle motivations.)
- Do put a gag order on the University of Richmond tour guides so they don’t say anything about the fiasco to prospective students.
- Do strongly remind board of trustee members to stay quiet about board discussions and decisions.
- Do send emails to University administrators with potentially damaging information that advises them not to distribute anything.
