Winflop,
I'm curious as to your "Financial Mismanagement" claim? Coaching salaries, specifically for Football and basketball have skyrocketed. It's an arms race, as you know and we are at a disadvantage versus the other Power5 thanks to the tv contract. Cost of living in this area is the highest in the country. By the numbers, Stanford tends to run a very conservative budget when you look at the comps from the Pac12, Northwestern, ND and others in our peer group. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Muir here, just curious as to your comment.
