Coaching Carousel

Yeah, they are. Revenue sharing is coming right out the school's athletic budget. If you're going to spend an extra $6 million on paying players and you're already losing money, you have a problem.

I'm sure they have a plan, but I would bet it's going to involve cutting non-revenue sports.

Not a popular opinion but I believe cutting many non-revenue sports makes a lot of sense. Never understood the value in some of these schools having sports that tie up major $ to fund coaches, travel, for a handful of students. Local Club sports & intramurals should be majority just like an academic club.

Matt A. said something similar at our Novita’ get together about how unfortunately the Olympic sports will most likely drop to club level.
 
As a participant and partial scholarship recipient of one of those non revenue sports, I can tell you that if that wasn't available to me, I never would have enrolled at St Johns. I never would have become a fan, and would have never purchased tickets to games. I certainly never would have contributed back to the University. I am grateful for the opportunity it gave me. Now on the other hand, I might have had a lot for fun at the SUNY school with a better reputation, dorms and a campus life. But as my HS coach said at the time. "St John's was a good college to be from"

I don't understand how some of these schools expect to make money now that they are paying players 20 mill a year on top of the insane costs of running a football program and flying smaller teams around the country for conference games.

They are mostly state schools so they will do it the old fashioned way--get the money from their state's tax payers. UConn's football stadium is owned by the state of Connecticut so guess who paid for it?
 
Whether he comes or not to Fordham, I'm curious as to how he was deemed solid choice to get Rams on right track. Was there a connection?
