You are a  good person.  And you mean well.  But you  wouldn't be a A.D. long.  Being in a leadership role is about making very tough decisions.  In short order, you would find, because of the lack of success of the revenue producing programs, the money dry up to support the non revenue programs.  And it wouldn't be just the programs you were going to cut that would have to go.  Life sucks this way. In my life, I once took over the investment sales of a large financial institution. In one of the states I took over,  I had to fire half of the sales force.  After doing that, sales ROSE  close to 80%.  Did I like letting those people go?  No.  I hated it. But I had to take a losing situation and make it a winning situation.  We work with limited resources. Athletic programs have already made the decision that you don't want to make.  Syracuse university doesn't have a d-1 hockey team.  We don't have a baseball team.  We don't have a wresting team.  At one time, we had both a baseball team and a wrestling team.  And at one time, they were both real good.  They were cut.  Do we really miss having them now?  I wish we still had them but I understand that we don't.  Limited resources.  If you someday want to be a public servant, get used to that.  We just can't afford to give everyone everything they want.  Wish we could.  But someone has to pay for all of that.  Nothing is ever free. Someone pays.
