[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 897010, member: 282"] The transfer portal wasn’t nearly as big a factor when the contract was written as it is now. It was written for a landscape where maybe 1 or 2 players transfer in a year. Everything makes sense. It’s a “we’re all in on transitioning from the option” contract. It’s based on a world where you recruit from high school and athletes stay for 4 or 5 years. It does two things [LIST=1] [*]Penalize the athletic department for giving up early. It’s like a program where you agree to give $1000 to a charity you hate unless you lose 30 pounds by next July. We’ve done the equivalent of gaining 30 pounds instead, and we’re trying to welch on the deal. When you see financial terms, think of them in terms of penalizing the AA for changing course. [*]Drive us to give full support to the coaching staff. Before Collins, Johnson was starved for resources. The contract does the equivalent of Cortes burning his ships behind him—we’re committed, so make sure Collins has everything he needs for high school recruiting. [/LIST] The landscape changed, but you can’t consider those changes unless you expect the AD to be clairvoyant. Also, when you say that the buck stops with Stansbury, remember that we’re here because he set in motion a plan to accomplish what the fans demanded. If you want to avoid the current situation, you need an AD who can look at the fans and boosters and say “I know better than you and we’re doing it my way”. And boy would we howl about that. We keep blaming ADs when we, as fans, keep doing the things that keep us from being successful as a program. The buck stops with us. [/QUOTE]
