I think the TTU shift is apples to oranges with the Champion situation. At TTU, they did try to follow the old path set by Dr Roberson. In fact, the alumni fought any effort to bring changes to the school...no matter how minor they were. Yet, that same alumni base did not support the school financially or any other way that I could see...they were only interested in fighting compromise (which to them was any change).
Outside of Chappell and Sexton, I don't know of any right leaning Bible College that is thriving...and I'm not certain those two are. It just could be that the Bible College model, to train IFBs to work in IFB ministry is not viable today.
I think these new IFB's simply see this and like all other generations before them know that change is simply a part of life. The problem is that to the IFB old paths, old guard any change is compromise. That's the view from where I stand, at least.
Depends.
