IU just raised their head coaches salary to $8 million. I believe that they certainly understand business way better than Purdue’s board and athletic director. Giving Walters another year and hiring assistant coaches with two year contracts means you will have Walters two years as well. Good business sense is to cut your losses now not two years from now. BIG TEN pays the schools $80 million dollars a year. Taking in pay for players at $20 million leaves $60 million dollars to fix the coaching and have at least $20 million dollars left. Yes, that includes paying the new coaches really well.
Of course if you continue to be cheap like Purdue and get ass stomped year in and year out like they appear content to do, they should not be surprised in the future when they are kicked out of the BIG because they add no value to the BIG.
