Yes...and it would make perfect sense for him to sacrifice the success of his program because he won't spend money that is not his. Great argument here on why our staff is under paid....Old Ballz is simply stingy with other peoples money. Genius.
He actually did that with Vanier renovations. Ask Dax about it.
Was it a money thing or a disruption thing? Both?
The old story I heard was that he didn't want Vanier to be out of commission long enough for them to do what they really needed to do to it. Otherwise, he would have. However, he wanted it done a certain way so as not to disrupt how his notepad plans told him how to run his daily schedule.
Please don't let the facts get in the way of a reason to be butthurt. OB's was given the opportunity for a beautful new football complex and he flat turned it down because it was just too much and he's rough ridin' stupid.
The option was there to build a brand new one. But he wanted the phased expansion for whatever reason.
You have to understand that the power structure that was in place when Snyder had total control was pretty much a paper tiger. Wefald, Urick, Weiser, etc. Whatever Bill would want, Bill would get, for whatever reason he stated.
If Bill said jump, they all said, "How high?"
