That's not an inconsequential outcome to many/most people in this space who assume money's not an issue.Why are we having this discussion? They will figure out the money issue and next coach or they won’t...
If you're talking about the past buyouts (pre 2020), no question we had money in reserve then. Might have even been the case when we agreed to buy Mack out--still paying his--I'd have to check. No way that money is on account today....It is clear they figured out how to pay for the buyouts. The net expense after 2024 for buyouts will be about the same or lower until 2028 depending on who they hire...
And the "net expense" for Payne which I estimate to be in the range of $10 million isn't a given to be paid for. Depends on your assumptions.
There are multiple threads on coaching candidates. For a broke athletic department that loses money every year, the only salary I know for sure we can afford is free....How about discussing the actual viable candidates their buyouts and salary based off your data?...
How many successful coaches/employees/contracts have we brought in after buying one out? The next one will be the first......Goes back to if they hire the right guy. What is that impact?...
