Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 2135272, member: 622"] I believe that if this staff wins, the money will be there. Simply adding 5K-10K to home attendance will pay the increase in salaries. Also, the ACCN will be up and running in a couple years so there should be larger increases in TV money soon enough. Hart is not a proven commodity and not an elite coach; he may very well get there but not before he wins serious recruiting battles and proves up with P5 running backs - neither task will be easy at Indiana (UM, MSU, PSU, tOSU annually, with UNL, Wiscy thrown in for good measure periodically). Also, taking a step back to a non-P5 school is a dangerous move: All is well and good so long as you can beat a OU and rack up 10-13 wins annually, but if the team slips to middle of the pack, it may be a long time before another P5 sniffs around for you. NOTE: this comment is for lateral moves, not upward moves. [/QUOTE]
