Well that is encouraging.  :(

I don't see a reason why Gross has to be on the way out, if previous accounts about his contract are correct.  It was said that he had incentives to boost our sports across the board, and that is why he spent more than would otherwise be expected on coaches in non-revenue sports.  If that's what was in the contract, then I hope the new Chancellor doesn't blame him for it.

I would rather that he tell Gross that his contract needs to be renegotiated to "refocus priorities" and that it is not a request.  If Gross won't, or simply isn't comfortable working under the new terms, then he can depart.  But the focus should be football, basketball, and lacrosse, with enough funding to keep the other non-revenue sports modestly successful.  There should be plenty of money with the new ACC distribution to do all that, and to pay the football coaches a fair market value.

And that's that.  If we really are going to run the AD like a penny-pinching business, be honest about it.  The sports that generate that revenue get the spoils, and everyone else is along for the ride.
