In the 90s everyone was talking about the future super conferences, which would be all sports and emphasize football. Instead of seeing that he focused on this fragmented basketball model. We know the results.
Yes, he would have had to eradicate the original BE design, but so be it, it was no longer viable.
Look at Aetna, Apple, Travelers, etc. many examples of companies completely changing their business and thriving.

I don't see him at fault for what happened in the old BE... he was trying to keep it together, and it was through his pedigree as Dave Gavitt's chosen one that kept the Conference together (remember Syracuse was gonna bolt when BC did).
He was widely respected as BE commissioner throughout the NCAA during his tenure.. Marriato (sp?) was the one that did us in...
