Not to mention that a legendary blue blood ended up with Cronin.   I think Cronin was a very good coach at Cincinnati.   But the fact of the matter is he was the best a legendary program could land.

You're right. UCLA endowment was $5 billion in 2018. MU was just under $700mm.

Paying off contracts killed the athletic department budget.

Basketball is part of their problem as well.  Basketball part of Cal's debt problem, Oregon has a debt load on Knight Arena, etc, etc.
