I doubt much of that comes from the university that’s not paid back by donors but I may be wrong It’s a waste of money anyway and shows the state of the new college athletics landscape.

It's appalling that these donors didn't give that $77 million to programs that help the needy in the state. I would agree with this idea. A little proportionality would be nice! Maybe a few million for the coach, and $50 million for job training programs to lift the poor out of poverty, and the remaining millions for your favorite charity.

What I do care about is whether it is tax deductible. To the extent that it is tax deductible, it forces government to pay for part of it. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top giacomo General User Member Since: 11/20/2007 Post Count: 2,689 Status: Offline     RE: A good way to spend money    Posted: 11/12/2023 11:39:53 PM  The team is 6-4 and not a hint of scandal. Is the football program that important to pay 77M to get rid of the coach? Not to mention what you have to pay the new guy. If I had 10B I wouldn’t pony up for this. Any donor that would is a lunatic. If I were an alum they would never get another penny from me.

You don't offer the man the contract they did with the buyout they did unless they knew they could pay their way out of it. The bigger question is: who do they get next? Because they're also going to have to pay THAT coach's buyout to get him to leave the current school, PLUS his new salary, PLUS new assistants salaries'. Dan Lanning at Oregon is being mentioned, but Oregon put a hefty buyout on his contract after they lost two head coaches in a row to other schools (Taggart and Cristobal). Mike Elko is the former DC at Texas A&M and has completely turned Duke around. He might be the cheapest option.
