I never felt like the not spending the money was a bad decision at the beginning, but once the TV money from the SEC Network started, there was no excuse. It was obvious that you had to. So I'll give a pass at the beginning, but the SEC Network has been passing money for 7 years. So he had about 2 years prior to know what was about to happen, and start getting everything lined up. Nine years. And even if you didn't want to build huge facilities at the beginning, that doesn't mean stop spending money altogether.
Without the SEC Network money, some of these programs would be financially stressed at this point. But the money is there and Fooley didn't adapt. What a fuching loser.
