  • With no warning, University of Hawaii President David Lassner fired UH athletic director Craig Angelos. Lassner won't say why. Those supporting the AD have filled in the blanks with their own explanations, which can be described this way: All conspiracy theories but no facts.

The article by Neal Milner discusses the firing of University of Hawaii's Athletic Director David Matlin, emphasizing that the process was conducted "by the book." Matlin was dismissed following a review by the university's athletic department, which highlighted issues like poor attendance at football games, financial losses, and a lack of transparency in decision-making. Despite these problems, Milner points out that Matlin's termination was handled with due process, including a formal evaluation and a chance for Matlin to respond to the criticisms. The article suggests that while the decision to fire Matlin might be debated, the method of his dismissal was fair and followed established procedures, reflecting a broader discussion on accountability and governance in university athletics.
