Agree 100%. Before Pollard we were heavily reliant on State funding, and now that it's being cut, we should be pretty happy that we're almost non-reliant on it. That's pretty much thanks to Pollard.

Did he **** up royally with McDermott? Absolutely, but he's done a very good job in almost every other area. Much more so than his predecessors.

If our athletic department is doing so well, how come we don't have the money to fire a lame duck coach that is obviously doing a horrible job and making a mockery of the program?

Really, you're going to try and claim the stature of our Ath. Dept. hasn't increased significantly because we aren't dropping $3.5mil+ to replace this coach and get a new one?

Because basing the current state of the athletic department soley on the premis of wether it can buy out a coach is not the correct metric to measure. Don't confuse unable to buy out with not willing to do a buy out.

You need to look at the big picture, not just one detail of it.

Make no mistake the ISU athetic department on a whole is in the best shape it has been in, in a very long time. Still needs improving but overall it is headed in the right direction.

Okay, I know this is really, really, really nit-picky, but I think this is the third time I've seen you misspell that word. It's "premise" with an "e" at the end. Sorry, I don't mean to be the spelling police, but that one jumps out at me, and once is a typo, but three times...
