Lou_C - I think this is one post where you are totally wrong and off base.  University employees, just like government employees, have no idea what it takes or even understand what the following term even means - sales.  Sports marketing companies are in existence for a reason - sales - and exactly why FSU uses IMG as it's sales and sports marketing partner - they get the job done.  SU is fooling itself if it thinks it can do any better.

After reading the press reports and what I know on the inside - SUAD and SU Admin is really at fault.  Who in their right mind signs a 20-3o year agreement for marketing rights - simply stupid.  Same for giving away naming rights of the Dome forever to Carrier.

SUAD is really one of the most mismanaged businesses in existence - cronyism, favoritism and stupidism is the norm.  If there is a problem, hire someone to fix it but god forbid if you hold anyone accountable.  I actually have faith in the new Chancellor to fix most of it - one can only hope - but his mantra is accountability and cost cutting.  Lots of departments, even outside of SUAD, are feeling it.

Finally I think the good doctor is great as a front man so I support him in that way but he really needed all along was a really strong second in command to run an efficient SUAD behind the scenes.  I think that the good doctor time here is limited - you heard this from me first - less than 1 year from now we will have a new AD.  Why - his way of doing things is contra to the new Chancellor's way of doing things.  Nuff said.
