I get basketball is nowhere near the revenue darling football is for colleges (shoot I don?t even know how many colleges are profit makers from men?s basketball), but USCe just fired Boom with his buyout equating out to around $13-15 mil and their athletic dept. is gonna have around a $44 mil deficit this fiscal year. I?m sure their athletic budget is much larger than ours (going off 2018-19 numbers about $35 mil larger overall) but haven?t we done well in years past of staying in the black to where it wouldn?t be a back breaker to pay a lame duck HC?s buyout of $6 mil in one of your big 3 sports? I might be way off here and I?m fine saying I am if someone who knows more than me corrects me. But crap, could Cohen not talk him into retirement and a reduced ?buyout? and let him fly on back out to Cali to retire out there?
Why would Howland agree to a reduced buyout?
