wonder that ascribes a level of thinking and vision to Babcock that strains reality given his performance as the VTAD. His failures from football to fundraising to operations administration and so on begs the question, if he was smart enough to envision that play why did he whiff on basics that could/would have prevented things from reaching their present point. Similar questions can be applied to Sands as well, IMO. He was the man in the middle, essentially taking his orders from others and providing input as requested. I suspect the platitudes and kind words for him yesterday revolve more around a classy let down than an indispensable contribution.
