[QUOTE="Techster, post: 876940, member: 360"] Who do you think our administration went to to payoff Chan Gailey/Paul Hewitt/Brian Gregory? You're strictly looking at this from a revenue standpoint, but fans and big donors have been subsidizing/bailing out bad contracts for a while now. Who do you think TStan will ask money from when it's time CGC has to be paid to leave early? So yes, it will be fans (big donors are fans) who will bail out our athletic decision makers again. Also, look at the $20+ million a year revenue gap between ACC and B1G per team. You don't think that extra $20+ million doesn't help with offsetting any bad hires, and helps add to the coaching salary pool? How about adding to our recruiting budget? How much does it help to have better coaches and a bigger recruiting budget? You think that GT would put a better product on the field instead of having to hire from the coaching bargain bin for guys like CGC and Brian Gregory? It's all become a vicious cycle: GT turns down a conference that would give us an extra $20+ million a year, have to ask fans to help buyout a bad coach, don't have the means to hire a good coach or expand recruiting budget, so we hire mediocre to bad coaches who eventually will need to be fired because the product sucks, so we have to ask fans again to bail them out. Rinse and repeat. [/QUOTE]
