And don’t forget the Taxpayers! The Yum Center is going to end up costing the taxpayers millions and millions of dollars as it’s expected true cost is going to reach a BILLION dollars before all the bonds and refinancing is settled.
In 1997 the total athletic budget for UL was around 17 million dollars....the 2017/2018 budget is 104 million. A 6 fold increase in 20 years! According to reports I’ve read, many donors thought that they were donating for education and research, but the money went to new athletic facilities. The athletic department gets upwards of 90% of the revenues the Yum Center generates. The University subsides the athletic department to the tune of 5 million a year, otherwise they would show a loss. UL displays virtually everything that is wrong with big time college athletics running unfettered.....but the times they are a changin’.

Just to really muddy the water, can't Mack's comment of X being a "destination" job be true...even if he leaves?
Don't go all bonkers on me, I'm being serious. It's one of the top jobs in the country (easily top 20 out of 350) and if it pays $3 million it's even being competitive with some big state schools.
But does that not mean there are other "destination" jobs which he can legitimately consider? Maybe XU is a destination job, just not eventually for him....he went up late, and I was already up there.

Other than a handful of jobs, EVERYONE is a stepping stone at some point. Hell, Kansas had a coach leave for UNC.
