# | VT BoV Approves increase of athletics budget by $47.1m this year, growing to a total budget of $212m in 2029 Without details, I can't comment specifically, but if there had been cuts to faculty and staff salaries while trying to (1) move all instruction online, (2) adapt to every possible student need, (3) care for families - especially with kids being out of school doing remote instruction you would have had absolute revolt at the university. The state appropriated us sufficient money to pay for the operations at the university. There was no need to make any cuts. We didn't reduce our athletic subsidy, it actually doubled a little after COVID. Athletics wasn't making any money because of the attendance restrictions, hence they had to take a cut because all of that has to be self-funding. It's not like the lack of cuts on the academic side somehow got in the way of the athletic funding plan.
This is close to my take as well. ACCCG game appearance gets him the job IMO. That implies wins over at least three of Louisville, GT, FSU, Miami - all legit top 25 teams.
I'm not a really a monty fan. His time at Baylor irks me (off the field stuff), and I think he's been kinda mid since. Wouldn't be thrilled if he was our coach next year.
Mmm I'm not sure about this. All the folks in the media I listen to (Staples, Godfrey, Richard Johnson, etc) are well aware of the $50m/year increase, and all of them are talking about our coaching candidates being (what I would consider) underwhelming.
Also, we've announced that we're going with GM route... I'm not sure how many sitting P4 coaches would like that.
Yep, there's also really uncomfortable allegations from his time as a high school coach.
- One former student said she was required by Freeze to change her shirt in his office (for a dress code violation) rather than in a bathroom, with no privacy; she faced the wall while changing but stated that nothing sexual occurred
- Another student described Freeze as closely monitoring the length of her skirts and being present in the parking lot when she returned to her car to change clothes.
- A separate incident involved Freeze paddling/spanking a female student as punishment for returning late from lunch
So, Freeze didn't cover up rape, but he's more than just an adulter, a john, and a hypocrite - on top of all that, he's a fucking creep with a history of abusing his position of power.
Yup, the endless cash ended. That said, the 156 million he gave could have been invested like an endowment.
The Boone Pickens QB.
T Boone Pickens actually died about six years ago.
I figured OK St would THRIVE in the NIL landscape. Endless cash from T Boone and close to Texas recruits.
No. He's gotta do way better than that
Seemed to lose the locker room between 3rd and 6th game last year. They started 3-0 and then lost all 9 conference games. Losing to Utah was a close loss against a ranked team but then kind of like Hokies against Vandy/ODU they got trounced by ranked Kansas State and then in game 6 got their doors blown off by a bad WVU team. They put up some fight down the road but then end of season 52-0 drubbing by Colorado really defined the season. Gundy fired both coordinators at end of season.
This season, I watched them lose to Toledo. Their QB is worse then Drones. If Rangel couldn't beat out their QB I understand why he appears to be 3rd string for us. Their defense could not stop the run at all against Tulsa either. Tulsa RB went for about 150 yards. They put up no fight against Oregon either. 69-3 drubbing.

Isn't he calling games on the ACCNetwork? He has a lot of experience watching what not to do, that's for sure
Didn't he call one of our games for ESPN this year?
He had some Dudes.
That was my thought for the most part as well. But as I said if he wins 4 more does he get the interview?

Oops, misremembered. It was conduct at LSU that came out after he had been hired at Kansas. He wasn't technically fired.
My thought was that someone of napiers profile (experience P5 assistant + winning G5 cosch) is basically what we're looking now. I really didn't think his time at UF could go wrong... until I saw he hired more assistants than players on the team. They was the first red flag. His unwillingness to give up play calling was the second.
Ehhh Freeze defended Ian McCaw (the guy who actually ordered the cover up at Baylor, so worse than Briles) from mismanaging sexual assault charges at Liberty, by dming and harassing a victim
He's pretty terrible

Also inappropriate behavior towards female staffers at Kansas
That was a thing? I know he had allegations at LSU with students but that was very vague with no sexual misconduct and his punishment was like "you can't use them as babysitters" which was also strange.
I'll allow the mishandling of certain 2 minute game situations if we're constantly ranked top 10 and have a natty.
What's Steve Addazio up to these days?
