How much would you say they are putting into the Football Program for the 2021 season?

In terms of what, money?

Yes, How much money does it look like the Football Program will be allocated during the 2021 season?

Based off everything going on, I’d say quite a bit more than normal.

With that said, I don’t an actual dollar amount.

This is not an argument just a question. Where do you think the additional funding will come from? There will be attendance increases over 2020 but I think they will still be lower than 2019. Do you see additional corporate donations coming?

There has already been a massive increase in BG donations and season tickets since Huff was hired. Given the financials hit by the pandemic, the amount of hires Huff has made is surprising but seems reasonable.

The amount of money being spent is not reasonable to the amount of money being kicked in by the increase in BG donations.

Don't get me wrong, I think a lot of people have recommitted themselves, but still.......

It's apples to oranges.

My guess is that 2021 ticket revenues will be greatly increased over the 2019 ticket revenues. Remember the last home game of 2019 when there were likely 1500 attendees or less? 2019 was not a good barometer for future ticket sales

Seems obvious some donors have stepped up. Maybe Mike has squeezed some funds from the AD budget - we'll never know (Not even suggesting it did, but if this happened, hope it wasn't to the detriment of other sports.).

My guess is the President understands success of the coach may impact his job so he is all in for support.
