You sir, are emblematic of the problem, no surprise with your involvement with BU Promotions - just keep turning that blind eye, and justifying poor management of other people's money - watch it slowly go away.
Some will be happy that I'm out too, others will think about the questions I have raised and perhaps in the future we can have a little more transparency and accountability with the gifts we give to the institution we love.
I've tried to refrain from this (on a Bill Brock thread of all things), but people like you and CaddyDorkus and LionCub82 making repeated statements like this are giving the "Mulkian's" a bad rap here, and the cause of continued strife and argument amongst Baylor fans. I think the majority of us are in the middle of appreciating everything Kim did, but ready to move on with CNC.
If you were *actually* concerned about the money, you would be have been complaining about Kim's salary too - considering (depending on who's reporting it) it was the highest or a close 2nd to Geno's - and no one else is really that close except for Dawn Staley; and WBB does not bring in the same $$$ as MBB to "justify" it. Until Kim leaving for LSU, which triggered multiple raises for several coaches (UGA and ASU for example), WBB coaches salaries were *considerably* lower across the board.
So please, save the sanctimonious lecture about Baylor Athletic's management of their money. Even though I disagree with their stances, at least Caddy and Lion are transparent about their hate for Mack for "letting Kim go" - maybe you feel similar and just don't want to admit it?
For what it's worth, even though I think it's crazy she was making that much (relative to her peers, and the same as Drew at one point?) - I didn't have a problem with Baylor paying her what they did. Baylor WBB is recognizable as probably the top program behind UConn - Kim is responsible for that. Yeah, she bent Baylor over her knee to get everything her program received, but that's what leverage will get ya.
