That big old contract extension for Pruitt just seems really short sighted now, says Captain Obvious.
Not just because he hasn’t really proved anything in the short time he’s been there. But even more, in 2020, just tacky as hell, to give a low life like Pruitt that much money, when the public institutions in America were already scrambling a bit this year for dollars. Not saying they were hurting for money, or that some wealthy boosters haven’t made bank. I’m just thinking about attendance being down, not just for games, but incoming freshmen classes. 10% or so was a number I saw quoted on CNBC last week. That is significant, and it makes for difficult forecasting, as some of that 10% might never come in, or at least, take their time in doing it.
Knowing what I personally know about Pruitt (from old high school and college acquaintances, he’s undeserving of that kind of money. And buying him out, now, would be a WRECK.
