R Soloveitchik, to my knowledge, did not endorse any clubs. Are you trying to make a parallel between L Rebbe and later behavior of chabadnikim with RYBS and current YU leadership (was it a grad school?). This is an interesting question indeed – what a person proclaims and what it leads to in a longer term is a fair question to ask. Similarly, is Chaim Volozhiner responsible for modern excesses of your local yeshiva?
specifically, I don’t think RYBS had same influence on YU outside of his own teaching. For example, in his article explaining why it is good to have a medical school at YU, he says that his approval is b’deived as nobody asked his opinion l’hatchilah.
