[QUOTE="Mr. Tibbs, post: 1802656, member: 748856"] this is the key for way too many years, we've had a President, Chancellor and AD who paid lip service at best (if that) to the notion of really caring if varsity sports mattered at all in fact, we've had more than a few people in upper admin over the last 50 years , that really (albeit quietly) didnt like the distraction of sports and yearned to be like U of Chicago and the Ivy League . What we got was the direct result of that. We saw what Wiscy (and then Northwestern) could do when admin really cared and people were held accountable . [/QUOTE]
