Reading the current Mercury article on the athletic budget hit we would take to get Brad, and there is no way that’s happening. It basically says that brads buyout is $7.9, Bruces buyout is $1, and the min increase from What oscar’s sal would’ve been next season to Brad’s would get us to a $10.1 million increase in what the expected budget would have been before all this started. That’s effectively getting Brad here for one year.
We could hire north Texas and tang and have them do some sort of reality tv coach off, while being paid going rate, for the next couple years and come out ahead financially.
