The discipline and legal problems of the last year are bad optics for the University Sands wants. He wants to kill the Engineering and Ag mentality of the past. Those are hard edges. He wants to make it softer and more inviting for the masses. These renegade athletes and coaches need to be put under tight control and the best way to do it is to hire Young. And Babcock knows which way his bread is buttered. Fuente and Babcock have probably heard the speech. Sands is no Torgerson or Steger. He's from Cal-Jerkeley for pity sake. I know it must be a blow to his ego to pay $2.4M compared to his paltry $500K.
