It’s expense to pay coaches not to coach.

Actually coaching buyouts are done by individual boosters...whales...which we have 1 or 2 at best.

True, but there is still only so much of that moolah to go around.

We have 1 or 2 now, but once we get back to where we are winning big games more people will show up in the stands and be willing to donate again.

There's been nothing that shows that, at USF anyway, winning big games has any appreciable effect on donations ...

Do we have any have solid proof that in the "peak years 06-09" under CJL  USF did not sell more tickets, merchandise, or receive any more money in revenue donations than the present?

 

At least the excitement is more than anything we have seen since.

The revenue from tickets and merchandise sold has to be more than what we have generated in the last 10 years. Donations, I would imagine as in all sports the better you perform, the more people are willing to give or spend.

That 10-2 team a few years ago saw no impact. I am starting to wonder if the ocean can raise the boats again.

This is true, but CCS projected a boring image.
