No no no.  I'm approaching this from a budget and business perspective, not a fan perspective.  This is a 1 year hit to the SUAD operating budget while the Dome is being renovated.  The "mandate" has been to run SUAD as revenue neutral in relation to the overall SU operating budget.  The old SUAD budget was out of control even though it looked like it was balanced (but to defend Gross not much money coming from BE vs ACC) - that's the real reason why Gross was removed just not good with numbers.  I am not privy beyond this point about the "how" this all needs to be presented.  Maybe it's an overall package I don't know.  I do know that a lot of professors & deans do not like SUAD (or the previous regime) and that's what a political hot potato any borrowings from SU operating budget would create while all deans are being required to do the same thing.  I don't think Sevyrud has consolidated all political power over this yet.

The strategic part long term is to determine our overall coaching pay philosophy. That goes for all sports including Olympic sports - don't pay up for Olympic if your not willing to do same for Football.   Should we be low end like we are now - bottom 5 out of 65.  Should our pay philosophy be even with the other private colleges around $2 to $2.5 million (between 45 to 60 in peer pay rank). Should we be upper P5 between $2.5 to $3.0 million (between 30 to 45).  Should we be elite $3.0 million plus (top 30).

To add fuel to the fire I know some of our Olympic coaches are being paid elite at the expense of football.  That's how messed up SUAD pay philosophy has been. :mad:
