Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5203932, member: 173"] I have a hypothesis after 30+ years in business - the high profit margins lead to incompetent management. If you can be a clown and the business is going to succeed (in the short term) anyway, promotions tend to be based on politics and not merit. Eventually it catches up to businesses (which appears to be happening to Disney now). Florida State is in a state which has grown massively in the last 40 years. As a result, they could afford to have clowns in charge - the university was going to grow and succeed anyway. But now they are faced with a situation in athletics that requires high business acumen to navigate through…and they’ve promoted politically savvy clowns for so long that they’ve got people in charge who have no chance of doing so successfully.
