Naw mane... its the buyouts. They don't have the money for new facilities. Hell, they just got done paying off Tuberville and Chizik.

You do know that most of the buy-out money comes from booster money, right?
ETA Just like the school pays $500K towards the coaches contract. The rest comes from other money.

I think AU is the 2nd most profitable AD in the SEC.

Maybe.

As of July 9, the school said it had sold 31,195 season tickets and had started selling mini-plans to incentivize people to come to the stadium. Just a couple years ago, the school had more than 50,000 season ticket holders.
I like shitting on Ole Miss, but what is going on down there?
Declining enrollment, declining donations and attendance.
Is it a symptom of the state overall, or just Matthew Luke?

Wow. No way they can buyout Gus with these huge cuts.
Boosters already said with no hesitation they would cover it. It’s personal for some of them.

I wonder how the law change related to tax deductible donations will impact all athletic departments.
Every SEC school has a "foundation" that has been a tax shelter for baws with foobaw sickness forever.
Now that tax loophole is gone.

Yes, but most big sports schools have a separate foundation for the athletic department. At Arkansas, it is the Razorback Foundation. Those $$ go toward supplementing coaches' salaries, and facilities improvements.

Again, common to all.

Auburn’s Athletic Department got a little bloated under Jacobs.
Or maybe Jacobs could raise the money to support that lifestyle while the new guy cant.

Similarly, interim athletics director Keith Carter told the Ole Miss Spirit that his department's budget would be reduced by 8.5%
Ole Miss gonna be stealing pillows and alarm clocks from hotels again this year

Why did AU recently delay the baseball upgrades which were promised to Thompson when he was hired 3 yrs ago?
AU needs a football only facility and Gus pledged $2MM of his own money. Why hasn't your AD presented plans for BOT approval, when is the time line to break ground?
AU agreed to pay the former Prez 2-3 times his salary to leave? Then the AD made a drastic 10% budget cut across the board after the slashed his own staff by half a dozen people only a year ago.
