Im surprised
This could be why our AD decided to "Pony Up". . . . Until recently (Yesterday). . . He wasn't sure we'd pay COA . .. .
Please tell me when Teis decides to "Pony Up"... Fran is the one that said that.
Doubt Fran would just "put that out there" without the AD having let him know that we were going to "Pay the Piper."
"Exactly" when Larry came to the conclusion . . . I couldn't really say.
But seriously, What Coach is going to commit a University to paying COA without the AD/Athletic Department giving their prior Okey Dokey?
Conversation could have gone as follows:
Fran: "Hey Larry, Are we gonna pay COA?"
Larry: "Damn good question." "I don't really know." "How bout you let me crunch some numbers."
Fran: "You know Lar, we've got SBC Media Day coming up, and I sure would like to have some news to break."
Larry: "I hear ya, but I've gotta make sure we can cover that cost." "I mean, where's the money gonna come from, my raises the last two years? Ha Ha . . eeeerr strike that."
Fran: "Come on Lar, Give me something."
Larry: "Well, it looks like the NCAA is gonna help a bit, and I guess we can get the rest through donations, you know, to the Bobcat Club." OK Fran, I'll give COA my official Larry Okey Dokey."
Fran: "Thanks Lar, that's just swell."
And the rest is History . . . .
