One of the major problems with Oregon Athletics is a lack of history and heritage, and Mac Court is one of the oldest and most characterful basketball arenas in the nation, not to mention intimidating. It is also the single coolest thing ever done with student fees, and a monument to the erstwhile student-run athletic program. If the old girl needs a makeover, some million dollar locker rooms, maybe some updates to seating and the upper deck than so be it, but let's not knock her down. Long live the Pit!

So the question is, why is the UO hiring someone who is essentially a wealthy fan with no significant prior sports management experience to helm the University’s Athletic Department?

I’m going to go with “Because the Frohn is lacking in talent as an administrator, despite being a pretty good lawyer.”
