He knew he had a window to work with. It's his body, his issue and I've respected that. With anything else Jerry's taken on, I have all the confidence he'll win this, too.
I think if you have a coach that's somewhat successful and has a tie to the school, it's a plus. But if you have a coach that has been very successful and doesn't have a tie to the school, I wouldn't be married to the guy with the tie to the school.
We feel confident that Jerry's received the best of care. He's feeling much better, and we're eager to get him back on the sidelines.
With the addition of the new talent and trying to meld the squad, I think it's a good move by Dana and her staff.
We just thought it was in the best interest of both parties for him to figure out what he needs to do.
Every conference has the option of doing it how they see fit. What we've chosen to do is split it between the teams.
It's an NCAA formula. You get revenue based on a unit. Each game a teams plays is another unit. It's done over a six-year period. If you haven't been around it, it's not the easiest thing for people to understand.
It just comes in as another revenue stream for the athletic department. From a financial standpoint, the conference needs as many teams as it can.
It's not going to get you rich, but it will certainly help us.
