The rise in power of the networks and athletic directors comes just as universities are starved for revenue by the changing paradigm where there is resistance to continuing 20 percent annual tuition and expense growth.

So University Presidents abandon all pretense and stare longingly at architectural mockups of $500M stadia and forget how to say no to ridiculous requests made by football coaches for gaudy toys and planes and salaries and staffs and lounges and x boxes.
