re: Why is no big-money boosters trying to buy out the basketball coach contract

FreeState nails it. CLM was not fired not because there was no money. He was kept on because King felt it would be a huge PR cluster frick to pay all that money, even though it would have been TAF money, at a time when the Legislature was raping universities across the street. Same thing with the women's BB. Fans want her gone, Alleva has gotten the word from King to simply let her contract run out next yr. As for JJ, do notice how Dale has not said one word. From several accounts, he's been working behind the scenes to protect his boy.
