If they can increase attendance by 10k, they make millions of dollars additional per home date. If they borrow, say, $5 million dollars against future earnings, and load up on five great starters for the basketball team, they make a tremendous financial return on increased attendance. But the program’s in completely different silos and thinking outside the box is impossible. There might also be a problem with NCAA rules, but if, in seven seasons, we get a slap in the wrist, it’s probably worth it. The people in charge of the program don’t seem to be innovative in any way, so we’re constantly behind the curve, and it’s down in results. Red has done a good job managing the program in a few ways, but considering roster building and in game coaching are 1A and 1B in importance, his succeeding in every minor way is irrelevant. [/QUOTE]
