Wade wasn't bankrolling everyone on his own nickel. There's money out there to support the basketball program. Granted, not as much as there is for football. But you also don't need as much either.

Ott has said on radio multiple times McMahon has turned down support from boosters.


I have a hard time believing that is true. McMahon hasn't killed it on the recruiting trail. But I seriously doubt he doesn't know "how the sausage is made" in college basketball.

To the tune of potentially a million or more payroll every year? Plus the same donors chipping in for a new arena, coaches contracts, football players, WBB players, and baseball players.

If you look at how he's come up in the biz it makes sense. Before he got here he only had one year as an assistant at a major college. App st, UNC-Wilmington, and Murray weren't doing a lot of big time recruiting battles.

There probably is but they aren’t spending it.
