I knew our program was flush with cash, but $120 million IN RESERVES? I want to believe that, but I'd like to see that verified.
They'll save some money since his salary from the Cowboys is deducted from the buyout, assuming his deal was the same as Cheesy's.I am up here this week and having a little time to listen to sports radio and they are laughing at themselves to keep from jumping off a bridge. Some talk show was saying something along the lines that the AD was paying Dooley around $100,000.00 a month to NOT work. I do not know if that is true but if it is, then good for Dooley!
I'm not a lawyer, but I deal with a lot of bankruptcy issues in my job. I also slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night : - )That is a good question. I hear on local radio that the academic side is going to give the UT AD something near $18 million over the next 5-6 years to try to make up some of their deficit. In order to do this, they are cutting $5-6 million in academic scholarships. There will most likely be tuition increases as well.
This article says most SEC schools have reserves between 50 and 100. Bama certainly should be above average.I knew our program was flush with cash, but $120 million IN RESERVES? I want to believe that, but I'd like to see that verified.
Consider it verified... Actually, we're just slightly under that, but not by much...I knew our program was flush with cash, but $120 million IN RESERVES? I want to believe that, but I'd like to see that verified.
But, does it have to be there at that stinking place. Was that institution of "higher" learning the only place with degree offering needed? I'm sure it wasn't so stinking when Neyland was there or when Johnny Majors was there. That place started to emit a very bad odor while The Phat man" was there. I'm sure they got what was coming for providing that double Secret Witness.I sent a daughter to two degrees at UT because her major wasn't available in the state of Alabama, and what she's doing today is a direct result of those degrees. Sometimes, academics have to trump emotions and loyalty...
This was a long time ago, about thirty years, long before Fulmer and the current hard feelings, and no, there wasn't a good alternative anywhere reasonably close for her field...But, does it have to be there at that stinking place.

Now, I love driving through the hills of Tennessee, but that awful color they use is revolting. I have to turn my head when I see that color. How would you like your office to be painted that color? I'd QUIT!
Well, I do believe what goes around also comes around. It seems that it is currently coming around.
Do those pretty girls have all their teeth at that age?Another important thing that hasn't gotten mentioned:
Tennessee girls are too pretty to not be on TV every Saturday!!!!
We can agree to disagreeHard to hate them they are just so pathetic.
There was a time, before Fulmer, when I respected Tennessee and pulled for them when they didn't play Alabama.This was a long time ago, about thirty years, long before Fulmer and the current hard feelings, and no, there wasn't a good alternative anywhere reasonably close for her field...
This was 1982, and I agree. It was before Fulmer managed to totally poison and wreck the rivalry...There was a time, before Fulmer, when I respected Tennessee and pulled for them when they didn't play Alabama.
Written by people ignorant of accounting. Our debt is long-term bond issues to cover the last two expansions, which, given recent history, we'll pay off early. We could have paid cash, but bonds made more sense because, given current interest rates, it's almost free money. The new weight facility, IIRC, was covered by advance pledges. UT's problem is what's called the "quick ratio," in accounting terms and they have to turn things around soon or the state will have to start subsidizing the football program (the way we do UAB), instead of the football program helping fund the university, as in Bama's case...This article from ESPN downplays the ut debt and makes it sound as if schools like lsu and BAMA are suffering massive debt

I agree. I could care less if UT ever wins another game or fields a competitive team, but I do not want them to go out of business.I sent a daughter to two degrees at UT because her major wasn't available in the state of Alabama, and what she's doing today is a direct result of those degrees.
