Some days its hard to write a check to the Bulls Club.

[Mike Stuben]

Let me start by saying again, I love USF, and everything Bulls. I am not going anywhere and I am not dropping my donation or anything like that.

 

Some days I think about how proud I am to be a donor to USF Athletics. I said hello to Mistral Raymond at a basketball game a couple weeks ago. He makes me proud to be a donor, because football, and my donation (and many other's donations) gave him an opportunity to attend college and earn a degree and a better life for his family. Make no mistake, he is smart enough to earn a degree without football, but football gave him a scholarship that opened up that door to him. He is just one of thousands of young men and women whose lives have been impacted by donors to USF Athletics. 

 

Then there are days like today, where I realize how insignificant my donation is compared to the millions of dollars USF Athletics pays people to not work there. 

 

Jim Leavitt got $2,000,000 to not coach for USF.

Chris Cosh got $300,000 to not coach for USF. 

Skip Holtz got $2,500,000 to not coach for USF. 

Doug Wollard got about $600,000 to not administer intercollegiate athletics. 

and not today - 

 

Stan Heath will get $1,500,000 to not coach at USF. 

 

I want my donation to do something, but I can't help but think it goes to people who are getting paid to not do something.

Just think of it this way.  We owe them the money and your donations are going to help.  Without your donations we'd have even less to spend on new coaches. 

[Paul Wall]

Hopefully the bad contracts will stop with Woolard leaving. Jim Levitt situation was another cluster F. I Will blame that on Woolard. It's been tough to be a bulls fan these last year's with all these mis steps.

Here's to better sports days in the future

Winning cures all!! And lately, USF has not been winning. It hurts. You pay good money only to see a big mess we are in right now. It will be nice to see USF start winning to make us all feel better.

The 7 or so million can be made up by recrafting this program into a winner. Simple as that.

Top managers in all industries and companies have golden parachute clauses. It is not just coaches.

If any organization wants to attract top talent these are the kinds of guarantees that go into contracts.

BINGO!!!  It is how the real world works.  Bonus incentives too.  Just the way it is.

Just keep telling yourself that your money is going to those like Skinny .... somebody's money has to so it may as well be yours.

Shoot, if we start winning the money we could get from a new negotiated Under Armour or Nike deal could cover that chump change in one season

[Ricky the Bull]

Like it has been alluded to, getting people in leadership positions in the revenue sports that excel will more than make up for the buyouts mentioned.  Think about how much money we would  have lost in our revenue sports if we had let things continue.
