Owners like George wh finally let Cashman run the show and won Championships, Jerry Jones who needed Johnson to win Championships. When both of them interfered, they lost more the won Championships.These rich donors are no different than rich owners who overly meddle into their professional sports team. (Only difference, a big one, is the presence of money has a huge inherent advantage in the NCAA due to the very uneven playing field).
The decisions they make are often not optimal, and the exact opposite of how they have made money in real life. They are no different than any other fanboy.
Its the sporting equivalent of "Think with your head... not your ----"
