I don’t see us being able to retain Dusty May unless we figure out a way to triple or quadruple his salary. 

He makes 400k here. USF is paying 1.6M for their coach.

There’s so much more we have to do to make our sports teams financially competitive with the top of this new conference

Ya mean 13-16 USF???

Well IF we grow, the BUILDING needs to grow to add TICKET SALES to help FUND a better Coaches salary!

3000 capacity WON'T get it done and we will not host HOME TV games in this building! No more than baseball will host ANYTHING Conference or Regionals in our stadium, EVER!

Correct.

My understanding is, the reason we were invited to the AAC is FAU has a vision with commitments to grow the facilities and coach's salaries to align with the schools we are joining.

This needs to happen quickly.

Here is some further perspective on Coach May's salary:

New UCF women's basketball coach Sytia Messer signed a 5-year contract that includes a base salary of $625,000 and an annual increase of $25,000, a UCF Athletics spokesperson told the Orlando Sentinel.Apr 4, 2022

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

I'm surprised UNT and UAB aren't ranked. They received votes but didn't make the top 25.
