Seems to me that with all of the elements of both tradition and change, you could turn this into an interesting independent case study for the GSB. You've got challenges in Marketing, Organizational Behavior, Strategic Management, Managing Groups & Teams, Political Economics (of a sort), with lesser pieces of Finance, Accounting, Operations & Technology, Managerial Skills, Data Analysis & Decision Making and (ahem) Values.

It's an old program, with more than a century of tradition, including real on-field and strategic innovation. You have attendance (customer) issues that are intractable and on a downard trend, and yet the football program is meaningful to many (certainly not all) stakeholder groups on campus and in the community. Be interesting to see how the profs and students solve this.
