[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 980400, member: 6459"] My pet theory is that the high-revenue schools just realized they didn't have to play the same game as the rest. Many of the salary and revenue and expense figures are public since they're state schools anyway, so maybe a few geniuses at the rich schools finally put 2 and 2 together. I haven't researched it thoroughly but numbers like 1M a year for 10 years are certainly easier to do without ten of millions in additional revenue than 5-10M a year, so probably a lot of other programs lost coach salary competitiveness in the last ten years too. You can do the former with 100M revenue; you can't do the latter, so if you have 200M revenue, just go for the killing blow. (This is also my pet peeve when folks complain about the Hewitt deal. Nuts as it was, it shouldn't have been the program-killer it was - it was expensive and dumb, but it would've been irrelevant if we could've caught up with the inflation anyway.) [/QUOTE]
