Dick Pitino has won 23 Big Ten Games and lost 44 Big Ten Games. He is 2/3 through his 4th season.
Winning 23 out of 67 Big Ten Games equates to a .343 Big Ten Winning percentage. Last year, prior to Coyle arriving, Dick Pitino was given a raise and his buy out figure was over 7 million.

When could Macturian Candidate Coyle buy out his contract and bring in a coach who has a future as a Big Ten Coach? At the present time, it is hard to imagine that Dick Pitino will survive this close to the end of his fourth season with the Big Ten winning percentage he sports...but..he will be here for 3 or 4 more years no matter what happens with that kind of a record. Coyle just can NOT afford to buy out another revenue sport coach. It really isn't a good situation... Will he be given even more money and how does his pay compare to the pay of the football coach? In another year or two will they have to extend him even further? How can he survive IF he can't raise his overall Big Ten record to at LEAST .500? Are there NO expectations for Men's Hoops? There have been some culture issues and problems with this basketball program in the past. Does this Coyle have any kind of consistency in his treatment of the various revenue programs. Is LESS expected of a Men's Hoops Coach than a Men's Football Coach?

What IS the financial condition of the Men's Football Program vs. the Men's Hoops Program? How much per Big Ten Win does the athletic director at the University of Minnesota expect his football coach to cost him vs. how much per Big Ten Win does he expect his Men's Hoops Coach to cost him?

Season Ticket Sales for Men's hoops vs Football? Where does Coyle expect each coach to sell?

Do the Board of Regents keep an eye on the coasts of the revenue sports programs? IF so, how much per Big Ten Win do they expect to pay a football coach and a men;s hoops coach? Who is running the show in the athletic department at the University of Minnesota? How much total debt is that department running up in terms of facility costs?

What is the risk vs. reward factor for coaching and staffing payments between Men's Hoops and football? How much revenue coaching salary inflation has there been in the combined salary increases of the Men's Hoops Program vs. the Football Program? Who is costing the U more? Fleck or Dick Pitino?

It will be very interesting to do an analysis of the Cost Per Big Ten Win...18 games for men's hoops vs 9 Big Ten Football games in 2017. How will it compare with the cost per Big Ten wins in 2016?

There IS a cost for every move an ad makes. How much did the former new norwood cost the U of M? How much has coyle cost the U of M?
