I don't understand how this just came out of nowhere. If we're willing to drop big money on basketball, why has the football program been so neglected?
Maybe football is just more expensive due to the amount of players, hence the concentration on basketball ..more bang for your buck.
Don't know what Pitt is making, but 7 mil a year ought to buy a great coach. Plus whatever they've spent on the basketball recruits already...seems like that would get us a little farther in football than we currently are.
Has football been deprioritized?

Not enough elite football recruits in Arkansas and it's way more expensive to field a top football team than basketball. We're never winning a championship again in football.
I'd rather concentrate donor money in basketball where we can actually win something than try to do something in football and risk wearing donors out/taking money away from basketball.

Pitt is done about 6 games into this season. We will be 1-5 or 2-6 coming off 3 straight SEC losses to open conference. Petrino gets 6 to show what he's got left in the tank. Best case scenario IMO. Either Petrino is the guy or we go get someone good now that we've shown we can compete with the $$$$. Tyson is just as big of a football guy as he is basketball. Dudes on the sidelines a lot at games, or definitely used to be.

I guess the question is would we be spending this much if it wasn’t for Cal’s relationship with Tyson?
It’s like if we hired Malzahn in football I guess, that would probably open up the checkbooks for some high level money people. Supporting a friend rather than the program itself which is a little weird but to each their own.
