[QUOTE="stinger 1957, post: 895993, member: 1682"] What you are saying about contract structure seems to be a culture issue with the AA. I could be wrong, but it seems time and time again we have been doing this over the years, this one may be the worst. We seem to have zero business acumen. It's like no one ever even thinks about this being a business. Business? What's that? I hate to say this but I don't throw good money after bad, been that way for me for most of my life, so i quit giving to GT AA sometime back just because of this. I expect others have and will do the same going forward. The whole thing needs to picked up, shaken out, evaluated as to who we are, where we are going, where can we realistically be in college athletics. It's obvious to me that if FB is where the money comes from you better put all the money that is needed into FB and then decide where you go with what is left over. You better make contracts that don't have the potential to destroy you or keep you constantly in a hole you can never get out of. If you don't do this then you are headed to complete self destruction. My preference would be to pick out the sports you can afford to be in at the top level, and go for excellence. Sports from the customers standpoint is about winning, you better give that customer what they want or they take their money elsewhere. Obviously FB has to be one of those sports because that is where the money comes from for the whole thing, yes not totally but damn near. Drop FB and mens BB and see how much money the TV folks hand out, donors give etc. [/QUOTE]
