Is the department going to hit up the legislature to subsidize Coyle and Co’s outrageous salaries with only 5% typical revenue coming in? 😅

Rubber hits the road shortly.
"Outrageous" by whose standards? Yours, I presume. In 2019 Fleck was the 11th highest paid football coach in the BIG10 and Coyle was the 4th ranked AD. Plus, if you are just talking football, the average attendance at Gopher games went from 37,915 in 2018 to 46,190 in 2019. I'm not sure of the math on this or the increased revenue, but my guess is that it comes close to paying for those "outrageous" salaries. To the point of your question, I seriously doubt that any legislative request from the department is forthcoming due to the many issues facing all of us in the coming months.

Market value with normal revenue in normal times, yes. Now that the pot of gold is temporarily removed (perhaps permanently given the mood towards zero risk?) the department‘s relative extravagance is laid bare. A weeks reduction in salary from the bigwigs isn’t going to cut it. They have an obligation to their rank and file employees to, if possible and relatively safely, find a way to bring in revenue. If it is not relatively safe to do so in 2-3 months then difficult decisions need to be made. This involves spending large amounts of money on in-house testing, protective gear, and so on on at a school and league level. In my opinion it doesn’t sound like the will is there at the very top at the schools and the league. We’ll see.
 


You don’t think it matters that nearly 2300 of the 6600 deaths reported this week occurred during the weeks of April 25th and May 2nd? C’mon man, you’re smarter than that.

The charts I look at always put reported past deaths at the appropriate date, they don't just add them to today's deaths. Worldometer does this.
 


Down significantly yesterday and looking like another "low" day for deaths today.

There is this "weird" trend, where the deaths always seem to slack off every 5-7 days?? Looks like we're entering one of those "slack" periods. When the next upshoot comes, that should be when we might get a clue of if this was a blip or if it's really starting to hit the fan.

Saturday-Monday are always lower. Tuesday-Friday higher. A function of when states report, nothing more.

Are you talking about the weekends? Most likely an artifact of reporting since some gov't offices or reporting groups aren't working on Sat/Sun. The spike on Mondays is the catch up. This is why the 7 day moving average line is there, to smooth out that variability.

Are you sure about that? This chart is from Worldmeters.


And it was pointed out above that their US numbers are always lower on the weekends.
