Message: [QUOTE="CarolinaCuse, post: 757471, member: 510"] I like civil discourse and whatnot; however, this is purely delusional. A University President's main job is to enhance the university brand - whether by increasing an institution's academic profile or raising funds, etc. The Senior Vice President for Finance and Business's main job is financial stability. The Athletic Director's main job is athletic branding and on-field success. Individually, you can make a case that each one was independently negligent. As a collective in which they represent the interests of the institution, they were grossly incompetent and put the interests of their "brand" above all else. You can't say that the leadership lacked courage/vision in the same breath as stating they weren't concerned about damage to the program - they are in fact, intertwined. [/QUOTE]
