We would pay $9 million a year if we could get a proven winner.That is exactly the point. We are willing to spend top dollar on a women's basketball coach to lose $4.5 million a year. We weren't willing to do that for football, the most profitable and prestigious college sport. They were, and now they have an elite program.
So, laugh at their women's basketball program all you want. They put their money in the far better investment.
