But Stallion, while the supporters of the football program will pay for the coaches and I agree the school should not, I would believe the school, RGT, would have a big say in who ends up being the coach.

This hire will tell us much more about whether SMU alumni big pockets have the stomach to keep paying the price tag for big time college football. They are floating this boat. It was expected that hiring these expensive head coaches would lead to substantially more revenue-that means season tickets and related revenue from the rest of us. Is June Jones' performance more disappointing or is the alumni's performance more disappointing to these guys? We'll get exactly the athletic department our alumni can afford and that's exactly the way it should be at a small, private school
Could not agree more.

But you still have to have a product to sell. Attendance and season tickets are way up in basketball cause the product is good. The same cannot be said about football and the fan base is as stagnant as the team.
You cannot force alumni to come, they need to have a reason to come. And it doesn't matter how much the CoC chipped in. The excitement was there in June first few years, but leveled off as the team failed to continue to progress.

A lot of debate on this thread, but 5 pages later no one has disputed that it was a handsome young man who asked the question that led to the overhead. I will take that as a compliment.

Quite possibly, but that is a separate issue.
