Dale you hit the nail on the head. Don't forget the AD is the one who has to budget and appropriate all funds for the athletics department. So when our economy takes a hit and the athletic budget takes a hit, who do you think has to deal with it? Football is definitely the moneymaker but think about gas prices and when a sport exceeds that budget, where do you think that extra gas money comes from? There is a lot more to it than most people see. Being an AD is anything but easy or pretty.
