Dr. Becker retired in June. He was very public about his vision to grow the athletics. To his credit, he followed through by investing much resources and showing support toward athletics during his tenure.

Hired away from the George Washington University, Dr. Blake took office somewhere in August and athletics is like 5 percent of his job. It's not implausible that he has been busy managing affairs elsewhere. It's a pretty big university operating over billion dollars in expenses. He has been public in some academic matters, but no words about athletics so far. Could be that the GSU Athletics is on an autopilot mode while Dr. Blake is delegating athletic department matters to his AD so far.

In comes Charlie with his agenda.. or so it appears.
