Then Rice should do nothing--drop athletics altogether.

I somehow doubt that the bylaws were intended, or should be interpreted, to mandate an athletic program that is a laughing stock. And that is what the present course dictates. McKinsey said do it right or don't do it. Twenty years later, Rice has yet to decide which.
