Agreed, but it takes a program with deeper pockets to buy out a contract, and I would think at this point the schools who would be hiring Sprinkle or Binford away might not have that kind of cash on hand.
I'd respectfully disagree with some of that. I don't know what the Sprinkle and Binford's buyout clauses are, but Boise State was certainly willing to pay to get Choate released and I have no doubt they'd do the same to get Binford in the future.kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 11:33 amAgreed, but it takes a program with deeper pockets to buy out a contract, and I would think at this point the schools who would be hiring Sprinkle or Binford away might not have that kind of cash on hand.
Boise is a pretty big program...AFCAT wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 11:38 amI'd respectfully disagree with some of that.

Don't you think she could be head coach there?CelticCat wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 12:13 pmBoise is a pretty big program...AFCAT wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 11:38 amI'd respectfully disagree with some of that.

I think the point is that the football program has deep pockets and could afford Jeff's buyout. I don't know that the women's basketball program would be as willing to pony up the cash unless they were absolutely sure she was going to be a program changer.AFCAT wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 12:17 pmDon't you think she could be head coach there?CelticCat wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 12:13 pmBoise is a pretty big program...AFCAT wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 11:38 amI'd respectfully disagree with some of that.

I guess we'll have to see what the potential buyout is. I think the athletic department at Boise is probably capable of whatever the cash buyout would be though. I hope Tricia is here to stay and will retire a Bobcat.kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 12:47 pmI think the point is that the football program has deep pockets and could afford Jeff's buyout.

Great analysis...... put one up without football! Also an analysis not 13 years old! I don’t know if you can put a dollar value on how much positive press a school gets from something like Tori Martell’s national exposure last weekend. Lots have changed since 2013..... I don’t want to disrespect male sports, but our WBB program has had a lot of success compared to the men’s! Not mention revenue from an NCAA appearance!DwaineF wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 1:37 pmI'm not saying this to disrespect female sports, however, it would be highly unlikely that a coach is poached from another school with any significant buyout clause. This is simply because the Women's teams generally produce a negative cash stream. In other words, they cost more than they make.

That may be true in a general sense nationwide, but the MSU women's basketball team wasn't too far behind the men's in attendance in 2019-20, 2,802 per game for the men and 2,322 per game for the women. That was the only year I looked at, but it's cool that both teams are relatively popular compared with what other Big Sky teams attract. Obviously, per game attendance is only one part of the revenue flow for the teams. There are many other ways college teams make money; donations, licensing fees, TV contracts, student fees, playing money games, etc,. I'm sure the Bobcat men's basketball team makes more than the women's, but I'll bet the women's team is doing pretty well financially. I know I only donate regularly to the football and women's basketball teams right now. Someday, I'd like to see how all that money shakes out for the Bobcats. Just looking at the popularity of the athletic teams, I'd say the Cats are probably doing pretty well in the most popular sports.DwaineF wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 1:37 pmI'm not saying this to disrespect female sports, however, it would be highly unlikely that a coach is poached from another school with any significant buyout clause.

https://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/s ... 6f84d.htmlIn the event Binford is relieved of her duties, the school will continue to pay the remaining unpaid portion of her contract. If Binford were to leave the school for another coaching position before her contract ends, she would have to pay the school according to the same terms. That amount could be covered by her next employer.

3. Mick Durham, 1990-06 246
4. G. Ott Romney, 1922-28 145
5. Schubert Dyche, 1928-35 110
Three out of the five coaches have something (field, building) at MSU named after them. When Binford becomes the all time leader in wins next year, what should we name after her?
