Most of the big money donors to football don’t give a rats arse about the basketball program. There is a subset of basketball boosters that do but they had to literally threaten Battle with cutting off their money if he didn’t fire Grant when he reluctantly did. I’m sure the university’s position hasn’t changed.

And - I do think Byrne cares about basketball a lot. However, his ability to make moves and do things is really, really small if the guys who give the money won't hand it over for things like a new arena or firing a basketball coach.

There is only so much the AD can do with a small pool of cash to operate.
