We as a total Athletic Department are not performing very well. Exception being Bowling, Golf, baseball. In addition, as soon as we do well, we lose the coach and now with the transfer portal, we lose players. Solutions from these vast range of knowledge. Please.
I don’t know what the solution is, but I don’t think it’s another athletic fee to the students. College costs enough as it is. I don’t see us nickel & diming our way out of our current funk.

I wonder if it’s time to consider high risk/high reward options for coaching staff to improve results? Hire a pariah (e.g. Art Briles, Mark Mangino, etc) that no one else will touch who can coach his ass off. Frame it as a “second chance”.
