re: there is a problem in the Atheletic department

The other note that I found more interesting is that Greene wasn’t on board with firing Gus. Allegedly, Gogue stops an effort to name Steele HC and gives Greene the authority to run the search and ultimately signed off on Harsin’s hire.

I think the talk we heard when all this was coming down during the search, and who was at play, definitely fits this scenario of Greene wanting to keep Gus a little longer bc of the money. It fits too much his fiscal mind we were seeing.

And it makes sense that not just the Olympic programs complaining but also basketball and baseball adding to it with their issues on travel and cost cuts affecting them.

I can see Leath thinking that even as our sports were thriving fairly well in 2018-2019, he probably didn't think a 10% was going to be that big of a deal.

The overall issues in the AD don't seem monumental now, BUT 2 points to think about: 1. When a President brings in someone to mediate within Greene's domain, that still will not sit well with Greene. 2. Once Gogue is gone, and a new President is brought in, if Greene hasn't left by then he better have shown success in his athletic programs.
