[/LIST] [LIST] [*]Contract buyouts for coaches and administrators, including Coach DJ Durkin and two other football staffers who remain on administrative leave. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]The subsequent hiring of a new football coaching staff. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]A decrease in financial support from donors and fans, many of whom already have been reluctant to help pay off the remaining tab for a $196 million indoor football facility and who could stay away in droves from the Maryland Stadium stands this fall while the school continues to sort out the mess. [/LIST] “With [potential] buyouts . . . I think you have already paid a price in terms of ticket sales, donations,” said one high-level booster, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive and unsettled nature of the matters. “Then you have to factor in, what do you end up paying the McNair family? And for how long do the ramifications of it last? It easily has got be $25 million and probably more than that.”<< [/QUOTE]
