We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

A job in athletics at a government institution is one you never thought would be in jeopardy. That's the promising aspect. Now, was that misguided thoughts? Sure, but it's still a thought on how many looked at Athletics career wise. Back to Top .

No way programs will be able to do buyouts on any head coaches.

I will say this, and have had a couple off the record conversations on this topic; Some AD's are going to be willing to let their coaches hang themselves out to dry if they can fire them for cause. That way they can turn around and pull a WMU to go get a cheaper coach. So don't be shocked to watch that happen with a few institutions, as I think there will be a round 2 of firings to happen.

I think 10% each. In another story along these lines, Oklahoma State just agreed with a home for home game in mbb with Oral Roberts University in an effort to cut costs. Of course in that case Okie State could dress in Iba arena on campus and be at Mabee Center in about 45 minutes. Plus, a ton of OSU alumni live in Tulsa and Mabee Center seats 10,500 comfortably. However, I think you will see P-5 teams be willing to make these types of deals in the near future to save $$$. Point is even in the Big-12 efforts are being made to cut costs. ORU plays OSU annually in every sport and has home/home deals except for mbb. The move now in mbb is to save OSU $$$. Previously ORU playing at OSU in mbb was a money game for ORU. The last time OSU played in Mabee Center was 1997.

Imagine you are an employee of some Big 12 school like West Virginia or Oklahoma State, and you are on furlough wondering if you will get your job back. The fact that Mike Leach might only make 4.5 million, instead of his contracted 5 million dollar, or Neal Brown might only make 10% of his multi million dollar salary is of little consolation to you. Power Conferences will make window dressing cuts to athletics, for non-Power Conferences it is a totally different equation.

The furloughs at West Virginia are through July 26, the last full week before the pandemic unemployment insurance bonus is scheduled to run out. Rightly or wrongly, it seems that this was timed for the school to shift costs to the feds during that window.

At some places, it’s just window dressing to appease some faculty. Back to Top L.C.

Neal Brown will make 90% of his multi-million dollar salary. I do agree that a 10% cut is just window dressing. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 14  of 14 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Football' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 168 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 167 Guests 1 Registered User:   Rollbobbies01 There are no other users looking at this page.
