[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 915990, member: 4572"] Folks on these boards love to act like it should be easy for an AD to just stand up to the boosters and go against their wishes. Well, when the people who fund your program are telling you their funding will disappear if you don’t do things their way, it puts a ton of pressure on you. GTAA is $200M in debt. We’re paying a guy $10M to [B][I]not [/I][/B]coach football, adding to our already crippling debt. There is no room to lose out on even $1M in donor money, because if you do, everything has to play out perfectly to get them back. I can see very easily how an AD could be swayed by a couple of guys who write 6 and 7, maybe even 8 figure checks. When your job, career, legacy, life, and future are on the line, those are things you have to listen to and take very seriously. Teixiera pretty much single handedly bankrolls the baseball team, which outside of golf has been consistently our most successful team on campus for 2+ decades. Anybody who acts like they wouldn’t even think about catering to the big donors if they were in Batt’s position is kidding themselves. [/QUOTE]
