There goes your take right out the window. And you may not care about your player being involved in a murder but universities hiring coaches do. Whitesell was making 300k.

Buffalo Super Fan Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) 5 hours ago, Back2Buff said: lol, that scandal has nothing to do with Hodgson. You're reaching. Is Arkansas State going backwards? The last coach was paid more than Whitesell was paid at UB. I tell it like it is because at 55 years old as qualifying as a senior now in Western New York I don’t care I am old. I agree with you but as a UB Bulls fan and season ticket holder for over 30 years this school alumni have been in denial for years. St Bonaventure Bonnies pays head basketball coach Mark Schmidt over a $1 million dollars a year and some of these UB alums have an excuse for not paying a UB Bulls coach. The reality is Mark Schmidt makes as much as UB Bulls football and basketball head coaches combine. Then the UB Bulls alums will have the stones to say St Bonaventure Bonnies isn’t a Western New York school or a small college or whatever put down deflecting from reality. I am a Canisius College alum that is a fan of all four Big Four college basketball schools. I just want Western New York to win I don’t care which school does it just win a national championship for Western New York. Yesterday March 21, 1977 was the one and only post season National Championship the St Bonaventure Bonnies NIT championship Western New York ever won in college basketball over head coach Guy Lewis’s Houston Cougars with star player Otis Birdsong at Madison Square Garden. I was 9 years old when the Bonnies won for Western New York that is how long it’s been. I don’t care about UB Bulls excuses nor that PSE bum Terry Pegula’s excuses for failure. Just win a National Championships for the Western New York area Bonnies, UB Bulls, Bills, Sabres whatever just win the championship fools the whole bunch excuse making fools five and dime owners and five and dime donors in my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls! Let’s Go Buffalo Edited March 23, 2023 by Buffalo Super Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB Horns Up! Go Bulls! Let’s Go Buffalo Things were trending in the right direction for a bit. UB was seeing the financial benefits of what a successful program could be. They gave Hurley his extension when they thought he was going to stay, and then they gave Oats an extension too. What those contracts really did for UB was give them huge buy outs, and UB decided to not flip that buy out into paying more for a new coach, they went the cheap route. They took that money and put it into other areas that are really struggling financially. Same thing with the football team too. One thing I will back UBs financial team with is, the donors just aren't there. Getting money to build the field house was worse than pulling teeth. They have to more or less, stick to the budget that is given to them by the college. They don't have this huge donor alumni fund that other colleges are working with. I'm not expecting much with this next hire. I would venture to guess it will be a younger guy in the hopes they can get another buy out in the future if he succeeds and gets hired. That is what they did with Mo. It's not working because he is a terrible coach, but they thought he had a bright future of a buy out.
