Politics are huge at private universities in particular but at every university. I have several friends and relatives either on the development side or in academia and almost every decision made is extremely political.

That said, and I'm sure some have made this point, it's probably worth G'town sticking with JTIII at least for a few years to see if the new athletic facilities can help out. I mean, as weird as his roster management has seemed at times and as poorly as things ahve gone the past two years, they were really a pretty solid program under JTIII for a good stretch of seasons.

Bad year in '08-'09, but otherwise, '04-'05 through '12-'13 they were .500 or better in the best conference in the country and won at least 23 games six times in 9 seasons. They also had a final four and a sweet sixteen, so a bit disappointing but 7 NCAA appearances in 9 seasons with one of the two misses in his first season on the job.

I'm no fan of JTII or georgetown, but given the sensitive nature of things in that particular situation, it really wouldn't make much sense to fire him in the next couple of seasons unless the wheels just continue to fall off in even worse fashion. Maybe two more miserable seasons makes it a logical move but for now I can't see them moving on from JTIII and I don't blame them, really.
