I can’t speak for his personal thoughts, but he seems extremely passionate about USF. I met him at Starbucks a few weeks ago and he was making a great effort to ask every student about themselves and invite them out to the game.
The other day, I met him in MSC and he remembered me. He also stopped a high school tour and gave them a little speech about why they should commit to USF.
I don’t know much about the financials, but he seems extremely determined to build up the culture and school pride at USF. He doesn’t have to be on campus every day talking to students, but he does it & his approach to culture seems to be paying off (won the AAC, sold out YC, etc.)
