Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3503214, member: 9403"] I would be shocked, shocked if that happens in this economic climate. Although Texas's athletic department apparently [URL='https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/college/article/How-Texas-athletics-spent-206-6-million-in-2018-13588340.php']doesn't rely on either student fees or state support[/URL], so it's in a better position than almost any other AD, its football team generates almost 75 percent of its revenue ($145m), and there's no guarantee there will be a football season this year, let alone one with fans. If there isn't, Texas's athletic department budget will be shot through. And it's almost certainly going to generate less in revenue from TV ($20m), and we know conference payouts will be at least half what they were last year from the NCAA. In that kind of climate, what AD thinks it's time to allocate almost 50% more for a head coaching position? [/QUOTE]
