I don't think anyone believes Ole Miss has no money, but there's a difference between spending $6 million just to fire a guy, versus investing that $6 million into facilities, recruiting budget, stadium upgrades, etc.

In just a couple of months the UMAA has raised $50M (their final goal is $150M) to build a new basketball arena. I think we can find $6M somewhere.

(Actually, the money has already been ponied up by the Vaught Society so it's just a matter of when they plan on using it. My guess is that they're waiting to know if Boone's fired and/or if Houston Nutt's replacement will be worth a damn.)

I can't see why you all don't see the dichotomy in such a statement. First, I doubt it is actually that much. Secondly, that is where the power lies. If folks are readily pledging money to such a campaign rather than pledging X amount with the caveat that Boone is forced to resign - then I will give, then you have lost all of your power. The power is in the dollar. Forward Rebels is the worst thing that Ole Miss has going for it right now. I thought you people were united but apparently not.
That being said - I am not helping you all out anymore. WE are loving every minute of it!
