If a new chancellor is brought in during a financial mess at the university scale - he's going to want to clean up everything. 2. While I agree that many other schools are getting away with far more, he personally was named in the NCAA Fab Melo stuff. It was hugely embarrassing for the university and resulted in punishment. 3. Football drives the bus at major universities. He made 1 horrible hire that set the school on the worst run in its existence. Marrone was a good hire (not great, good) and he bolted in part because of issues with the leadership. Shafer got a raw deal in some respects, but eventually the w-l record catches up with you despite the reasons. And that's what got Gross: the w-l record in football, despite the reasons. [/QUOTE]
