GAW (and now Health, since you have joined the discussion) my issue is not who owns or runs the Yeshiva, but who gets the kovod of being the Rosh Yeshiva- the one who actually teaches Torah. Ner Yisroel is a better example for what you are arguing since R’ Neuberger actually founded the Yeshiva together with Rav Ruderman in the first place and was instrumental in running it. Yet despite the fact that Ner Yisroel would not exist without him, R’ Neuberger never referred to himself as the Rosh Yeshiva or considered himself a gadol hador, but rather its President, a position filled by his son today. When it comes to BMG and its CEO, al achas kama v’kama, since R’ Aharon Kotler (the second) was only brought in later, did not found the Yeshiva, and started working for the yeshiva more than a decade after the current roshei yeshivas were appointed.
