If you understand the business of college athletics then it would be easy for you to realize a ten million dollar buyout should not prevent a coach from being fired. Truth is, you have no idea the back channels that DB has access to or if this buyout is an actual obstacle. My understanding is that it's not. And for what it's worth, if I had the resources , I would give him all 10. Wouldn't even ask for my name on a building:
I may have a slightly better understanding than you are giving me credit for but for laughs, please educate me.
On a side note, I don't doubt that you would fund it entirely yourself if you could. As you (obviously) cannot, I don't see how you (or anyone for that matter) can freely state that ten million dollars should not be an obstacle. It still is a reasonably large number and the school using it to buyout a contract (as basically dead money) when they are actively soliciting contributions for many projects (both academically and athletically) that require tens of millions of dollars to fully fund may not be a very easy sell. This is compounded by a very recent buyout in another revenue sport.
For the record I am not asking those who continually cry about the situation to cancel family vacations and send the few thousand dollars that would save to a
Fire Ollie fund. They should spend that money on their families, not something as discretionary as this. I just wish that those who feel the need to continue to whine about the same things over and over again, daily, would step back and realize we all get the point. We have a very poorly constructed, very inept, very limited team that does not appear to be coached to an acceptable standard. When we play SMU and then Temple over the next week we will see numerous post game threads acting as if what we now have as a basketball team is something that just appeared during that game.
If you can do something about it, so something about it. Don't increase the number of whining posts from 1,500 to 2,200. It doesn't accomplish a thing.
