This is so absolutely ridiculous. Private equity firms are full of people that have no idea what it means to run a business. They are always very short sighted. Many businesses have been ruined by their meddling in the business model, Red Lobster being a good example.
It's no different in my field either. Many security software products have been bought up by private equity firms and they are promptly destroying them. I work with Trellix, and there have been layoff and layoffs due to their inability to innovate and run things.
Now this same short-sightedness is being applied to college athletics.

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.
The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.
See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
