As a long time alum, I follow all things SU and I'm aware of the myriad issues facing the school. He did an interview on ESPN and he responded to a question. I don't think his take is outlandish given developments in college athletics over the last few years. Like it or not, the chancellor has a say in athletic department issues.
The chancellor does speak to broader issues facing SU, as well as put out written communications from time to time.
It is a tumultuous time in higher education, with probably a much, if not more, uncertainty than at any other time in SUs existence and Kent has a very difficult task. I'm not defending (or criticizing) the job he's doing. My priorities are likely different from yours as far as what we'd like to see as Kent's main focal points. That's fine and disagreement is healthy. I merely took issue with the idea that by giving his opinion on the future of college athletics is taking away from his ability to govern the university.
