When WVU signed the extension, they most likely did so with the ability to pay it if things went south. On another board where there are more intelligent posters than this troll ridden space, people have discussed the actual contract. It’s stated that while a lump sum is addressed, it’s something that would have to be negotiated. Otherwise brown would fleece the university for what he would receive as his buyout each year through 2026. It is also affected by whether he gets another coaching job— if he does then that reduces the amount he must be given.
Trolls stating “WVU doesn’t have the money” are just stating that, they have no idea what they are talking about.
If WVU football continues to stink, then all revenue streams are likely going to decrease starting with ticket sales because no one but the most loyal core will want to see WVU getting drubbed by every team with a pulse. Parking income will decrease, concessions will decrease. Merchandise sales will decrease. Alchohol sales will decrease. Donations will decrease. Sponsorships will decrease. Maybe the most important, tv appearances will decrease and all the exposure for the entire U that goes with it. It won’t be surprising to see student population at the university decrease.
It’s not a one way street as these trolls want to portray, they are just trying to pretend WVU is a destitute institution with no athletic budget or boosters when actually WVU has been doing well in that department since they joined the BIG 12.
