Message: [QUOTE="kingtidge, post: 5319535, member: 994"] I think the implication is that right now, given the settlement requirement on schools, there's simply not enough money currently to fund both programs (football and basketball) adequately. Also, some creative funding strategies need to be developed for the longterm because we're not ready for it.) Some here have said basketball is getting the short straw right now as a result and that we can't afford to fire and hire a new coach currently, given the financial crunch of the school having to fund the $20mil. Have no idea if true but I wouldn't be surprised if that is reality, sadly. Between a rock and hard place and we will not have seen rock bottom yet if so. The attendances and season tix renewals may really flatline if "stay the course" is the only option. [/QUOTE]
