I think its much more interested in getting fan input -- from all fans, not just the big donors -- before making decisions about certain things. The opener against William & Mary being originally set for 3:30 p.m., then moved back to 4 p.m. to be on TV, is a good example. In the past, I think that would have been a noon game. But as really the only game on the schedule that the athletic director has any control over the gametime, Babcock made sure to get that one in the late afternoon to, from what I gather, accommodate more tailgating.
