They money you will save from avoiding an empty stadium. And a big drop in donations.
Won't happen during the season. He should get a chance to right the ship. And it won't get any better with an assistant in charge from this group.
I really don't believe that is true... I also do not believe they are getting any real money from tickets unless it is corporate purchases...
You should have sent $285K to help TU get new coaches and NIL.
@I.I. I guess that firing now is kind of pointless. Kind of like it was pointless with Rader.
But what do you think we SHOULD do? Just take what's on offer and be thankful for it? The pregame carnival then just plan on losing from here on out?
Just because they have a large endowment, doesn't mean they have the money. That endowment can't be touched for paying buyout and new coaches salary, or anything else athletic.
If we don't have money for athletics, then how the f*** are we getting tailgates that are essentially mini carnivals with free food, booze, and concerts? And people don't even have to attend the game to get in?
That stuff doesn't end up costing near as much as coaches buyouts and salaries. I'd bet that stuff costs 300k per season, for all 6 games.
When they started doing that it was mentioned on this board, multiple times, the cost was 1-1.5M PER tailgate.
Fairly sure Huffy is the one who dropped that figure. Maybe it was one game and I misunderstood. Either way, it's money not spent on anything other than good will. Which will only be taken advantage of. It ain't going to get us better recruits or make us money. Winning does that. Which requires competent staff with a vision. And facilities to keep up with the Jones.
I don't remember hearing that, and I don't believe that's true. But if it is, then they should be spending some of that money in other places.
