New Big 12 Private Equity Deal

I agree with red80 - An approximate interest rate of 10% would mean $3 mil a year in interest if U of H borrowed the $30 mil. No thanks.

I am sure glad John Kurtz is keeping track of which B12 schools have rejected the PE offer, so I don’t have to. Thanks to JD for reposting.

This may be a shutout.

That’s at least the 2nd time (probably more) that you’ve posted about ā€œbuyingā€ us a new softball coach. We just finished the first year under a NEW softball coach after suffering through too many years with the last one and watching a once-good softball program fall into the abyss under the prior coach. Let this current softball coach do some work before you keep calling for a change there. I had to come here to correct the nonsense, or knowing you, you would have repeated it 100x until people actually believed you. Have you ever even been to the softball stadium? Do you know the name of the coach who built the program from the ground up?

Then we should use it to buy more softball PLAYERS for the new coach!

I agree. The depths to which the previous coach took the program to was almost unfathomable. In so many ways. Going to take time.

Kyla and Beth worked very hard to build the program, was sad to see it devolve so quickly. I think it was the overall athletic department mentality at the time in C-USA, then AAC. There’s a pattern here, the collapse happened to football, happened to MBB and it happened to softball. Let’s hope UH athletics has learned its lessons in the 1st 100 years and the Big 12 was our big salvation. Thank you Renu for the leadership and guidance.
