Wrong again Merc......
the thinking before Dooley, during Dooley and after Dooley had nothing to do with no independent investment thinking. The thinking from 1995 - 2010 and not reinvesting was an overestimating of the effectiveness of their model, an overestimating of their ability to continue to drive incremental improvement with that model and the failure to recognize coming industry shifts further clouded by health and personal issues. Your accusation of taking money from athletics to fund the university is unfounded, absurd and totally ignores any benefits derived by athletics from the university's internal cost allocation structure. As you have been told countless times before, do better Merc instead of just pretending.
