For all of the people saying UM will get someone for 5 Mill a year, I am sure they would except they are going to take a big hit on bowl money also. I would also figure that donations will be down after this also. You can't spend like Bama on a USM budget.
But why spend $5M/year on a coach when even a great coach will struggle to go 4-8 the next 3+ seasons? Matt Luke could probably coach them to 3-9 each year for $1.5M. Then when sanctions are ending, they can hire a guy for $5M that can now actually build something.
