Colleges spending money they don’t have are in for a real wake up call. Duquesne and Robert Morris just built new arenas and they both barely draw 1000 per game. Dambrot makes 1M per year.

Just be thankful that OHIO is flush with cash and have none of the issues. We will be well positioned to move into a major conference when this is over.

Nobody is going anywhere until we start paying our coaches some real coin.
