Big crowd -- maybe 500+ -- at the Reagan building.
In two or three short videos, there were various sightings of TD, CP3, Chill, and maybe CD. Hoops -- and golf (Arnie and Webb), but not football (I didn't see the Orange Bowl, for example) -- was thus presented as part of the school's DNA or core brand. Among the futures envisioned for incoming / future students was "NBA All Star."
There was a positive reference to Clawson, among various profs and administrators, as a leader of students by Hatch.
A trustee noted that Wellman "right now" -- wait for it -- "is serving as chair of the NCAA tournament committee." No reference to the search at all, even indirect, by anyone. Not really a surprise.
Both US senators attended, as did much of the school's top academic brass (now called "the cabinet"), and they honored a number of DC area alums plus a couple of current students / fellows.
It was a scripted, polished, and in my view effective presentation from start to finish. There was no Q&A. Others may have had a chance to ask questions during the reception. Lots of informal Manning chatter among grads in the audience. Doubt anyone got #scoop though.
