They have the money. They just actively chose as a school to deemphasize football because the academic side of the institution was going bankrupt. Think about that... when the school is in financial straights they decided to tighten the rope of the athletic department because of optics. The private donations pay for the coach. It’s a completely separate budget, but they still chose to not go spend money when they had a chance to take the next step. One more time just in case it’s not sinking in yet... they turned down free money that would’ve provided a financial boost to their university while they’re going bankrupt. Because of political optics. Honestly their fans deserve better.
I'm probably one of few, but I agree with them. It's a learning institution first, athletics second or ever farther down the list. Optics is important.
