That is just the thing Tom, which I am curious as to what happens with Moose's chapter.
LCAP making the determination of if a chapter can handle the situation.
As Moose said in his original post "We are making some great steps in a positive direction and feel that LCAP is just holding us back. "
Seems kind of fishy to me. A semi-stable chapter could more than easily obtain a mortgage on the property they wish to buy and repay LCAP the money. I don't think that is the problem.
But what is "handle the situation"? That's where things get sticky.
I can understand concern from LCAP that they don't want to sell it and have to come back 5 or 10 years from now. I think that is why they will not transfer back the property.
So if a chapter has 50 guys and is doing well, why wouldn't LCAP sell back the property?
I think it is a catch 22. Sure, LCAP will sell back the property but only if the chapter can guarantee stability for the next 5, 10 or 15 years.
So what chapter can assure they will be able to handle a house in 10 years from now? Even the absolute best chapters can't do that.
That is where I believe conflicting interests occur. LCAP wants long-term viability; a chapter cannot provide assurance for long-term viability.
Has anyone ever see the movie "I, Robot"? (or book)
Humans create robots to serve and protect them. Robots evolve, and it is found out that robots want to control and enslave because they feel humans are self-destructive. So the best way to prevent humans from hurting themselves is to control them.
Just like LCAP. LCAP was created to serve the chapters. LCAP evolved. It was soon found out that no chapter could successfully be stable enough to justify LCAP selling back the property. LCAP will therefore always keep the property because a chapter will always self-destruct.
Oh and Tom, I am NOT talking about Umass. I am talking on general terms.
