In a bold move, Vanderbilt is eliminating its Athletic Department and dispursing its functions/responsibilties into various University departments. Is this a way for University Presidents to regain control over a run away train or weakened the role of collegiate athtletics?
Granted, Vandy is a hardly a athletic power, but is a very respected university. Will progressive leaders look to see if administratively this could work . . . reducing cost and regaining some control over the indedpendence of varsity teams, especially FB and BB.
