Do you know if some of these funds will provide a partial rebate to MGSF members?

So $1.2M in for Ross and $500K out for Dr. Ob? So we just made $700K? How many fajitas will that buy?

It was intended to be. I obviously need to take into consideration the sophistication of the readers and adjust my attempts at humor appropriately.

Just invent a sarcasm font.  San Serif, monospace, and call it something similar to dingbat.  It can only be used in blue color on a solid, dark red background.

Just asking, but can this money go to our basketball NIL? I know the NIL is coming in house soon but have no particulars. [Note: this is not sarcasm].

Super! If our coaches move out and up every 3 years we can fund our NIL. [sarcasm or realism? ]

Is this the first time we’ve received a payout over $1M for a coach?

it absolutely has to be. Grant's if I recall was in the $800K range...and I literally can't think of any other coach save JJ who has ever been hired away from us. we fire our coaches, thank you

IIRC, Wren slow played paying the buyout to Arky State for GMac, which was probably like a sandwich and a bottle of moonshine, but he probably had to get a line of credit for us to pay that steep bill back then. Maybe now, with all that Big 12 money, he might pay this on time now.

Three of our last four Basketball Coaches have been hired away over a 24-year period. In addition, two of our last three Head Basketball Coach hires were Head Coaches at other D1 programs when hired.

Can't we all at least take pride in that?
