The good PE firms trim the fat, and are turn around specialists. The end
goal is to sell the acquisition, break it up, or as you say - put lipstick on it - but the main goal is to get an ROI, and sell their position in the future. They are not buy and hold firms. The end game, it seems to me, would to position a school to get a P2 invite. FSU may fit that bill, but Arizona would not in my opinion.
I don't see any other way they get an ROI in the college athletics segment. A separation of football from college athletics? that would get them an ROI as well, and maybe some know more than we, the consumer, are privy too.
So far, however, no one has pulled the trigger.
