People laugh about the basketball school stuff but what could we pay our basketball coaches if we lowered the underperforming football salary pool?
For those against lowering the football salary pool in favor of basketball, consider this: how upset would you be if Eric Morris was hired away today and how does that compare to the potential of losing Hodge?
Thanks to Coach Burton for speaking out on this issue. Hodge took the high road because he never wants his teams to have an excuse. It wouldn't surprise me if both left at the first good offer.
We may not need to worry about that with all the possible turnover in the programs. And there are several on this board that think the NIT is a waste of time. They say NCAA tournament or nothing. Maybe the administration agrees with them.
You mean this type of buyout?

Or even this level buyout?
Texas Tech is also expected to pay North Texas $750,000 to buy out the remainder of McCasland’s contract since he left before July 1, 2023.
The buyout was $1.5 million, but the contract Between McCasland and North Texas shows that amount is reduced by 50 percent if Wren Baker is no longer the UNT athletics director or employed by UNT.
