You like to mention the revenue share a lot as if it is some endless pot of money. However, that money supports the other sports which lose money( U needs to cut sports) They don’t have enough after covering those sports losses to pay buyouts and the like. That is what most programs use...
They aren’t rolling in money when they have to financially support all these others teams at the university as very little booster money comes in for any of the sports, atleast relative to their peer programs that they want to beat.
It’s why they can’t win consistently at a high level. It’s also likely a contributing factor why coaches leave. Coaches that want to move up in their career know it’s easier to look good and build a resume with better players. That and many other schools pay assistants more as well. It all...
If he is ever going to leave this would be the year. There are a lot of good jobs open or soon to be open and not a lot of high end coaching talent out there. PJ may be 5th or more on a schools wish list and still get the job because they struck out on all the other guys.
If former Arkansas coach Houston Nutt is any indication. Arkansas fans would be okay with PJ’s schtick. Nutt is still beloved by a large part of their fanbase and had the nickname of the “reverend” because of his sermons and schtick with the fanbase when coaching there.
