I kept hearing that SU will never pay the big bucks for a big time coach..because JB gives cuse the hometown discount.

When U of Miami hired Mario Cristobal to be their new football coach, I was thinking all these talk on the Miami circuit about how UM is a private school and there is no way UM will ever be able to pay for a big time football coach,  UM had it's glory days in the 80s and after that have been treading water for a long time, they even had a "golden era" (Al Golden) and their last coach, Manny Diaz was an alumni and was signed for 8 million dollars till 2023.  I was thinking about the parallel between Cuse basketball and Miami football.  Then all of a sudden Diaz got canned, and Miami paid big bulks to get Mario Cristobal, signed him for 80 millions over 10 years, had to pay Diaz $4 mil to buy him out, had to pay Oregon $9 mil for Cristobal's buyout.

Meanwhile the school cut faculty budget for 100 mil, slashing retirement plan contribution and a bunch of other things...so they can find the big bucks, but pain will be felt somewhere else.
