🏀 This is how I'm seeing Grant. First, the financial side of things...

[TerryP]

Right at the end of January I referenced a note about Grant's contract.

Just rounding off figures here...it's -5 million to start. I don't know if there are clauses about pay arrangements between UA and his next employer. According to that note Walsh posted there was not.

Ticket sales down.

In 17 home dates, Coleman Coliseum saw an average of 10,754 paying customers. That's down 3.6 percent from 11,159 Alabama averaged last year.

Here's a quick grab of the graphics ed.gov They'll reflect last season.

Revenues and Expenses Summary

---

I see the University still making money on the fiscal year if he was fired and paid off today. That's still making money taking that 3.6% off the grand total, not just tickets sold.

Money won't be a factor I'll bring up in any more circumstances, looks like a burp. IF that.
