Can someone come up with the figures of payout with Tennessee athletics? What the average is per football player vs. a baseball player, men's basketball player, women's basketball player and women's softball player? Also, payout to the football coach/baseball/both basketballs and softball. Way too much going into football for the return we are getting. A football program that is on down the ladder shouldn't have athletes/coaches getting way more pay than a program that wins titles, imo. If Tony leaves I believe you are going to start seeing the fan base turn on the football team and DW.

College baseball is on the rise. I think all baseball coaches salaries will begin to rise across the sport. Even if it does not pay for itself, the attention it brings to name recognition is a good return. There is a reason the Texas brand is showing up in commercials everywhere. Not just NIL commercials.
Tony is a special situation. He is single (not a knock) and that makes his decisions much simpler. If he fails, he still has plenty of D1 schools drooling to hire him.
His winning at Tenn has been great for me. I now consider college baseball as my favorite sport. I think he stays.

What gripes me is we're not getting the return with the money put into football. Wouldn't it be something if athletes and coaches were paid on performance? Baseball wins it all, football is the usual middle of the pack. Pay cut for the football coach and players that is transferred to the more successful program.
