Yokubaitis is huge for T&F. In the next tier down from the other two.

From what I understand, he doesnât give a set amount directly to baseball each year, basically demands certain things happen before he gives the money.
What I mean is that heâs going to give a set amount to the department as a whole. However, he gives enough to dictate exactly where that money goes and what itâs used for. Baseball gets some of it, although it varies annually based on how he feels.
As far as Iâm aware, his money still funds a large portion of the program. Sanders gives some, some former players give some, there are some other donors that give some as well, but his money is key.
Yes, Pierce is making a good chunk at uta, but if the rumors are true then heâll be needing a job. I wouldnât think he would need as much unless we would be in competition with another program. Also, If his contract needs a buyout, wouldnât uta need to pay some difference until a certain buyout term?

Standards and attention from the ADs. I donât think Pezman felt anyone else cared about baseball success so why shoukd he.
Iâm so glad weâre past that stupid clichĂ© about having someone shepherd us into the p5. Whitting and Dana shepherded us into the cellar. And the softball coach. And the womenâs basketball coach.
Look into Sampsonâs mind and you will hear, âIâm not letting this putz drift on my coattails.â

David Pierce fired at TexasâŠwould be a great time to have a competent AD!

Iâm starting to wonder if this might actually be a thing, especially given Del Conteâs relationship with Schloss. It still seems pretty unlikely, but not laughable.
I think the Tenn coach is probably the guy.

Both Schloss and Tennessee coach were at tcu with Texas AD. Likely one of them.

If they wait a year low chance theyâll get him.
A&M finally winning a NC and then UT turning around and hiring their coach away would be absolutely hysterical.

With David Pierce and the local HS talent, we will be in the College World Series every year!!
Or losing itâŠeither way would work out just fine.

What I was told at the Lewis Jeweler event was that because we didnât receive full Big 12 share right away, there was some delay on what we could do and couldnât do in regards to coaching changes.
Who knows how accurate it is, but source was pretty solid.
Thatâs not how it works.

Baseball money would not be coming from that money anywayâŠ.not as currently constructed.
Why not?
There are a couple of donors that have been paying for most of baseball, including TWâŠ.thatâs why we are in this messâŠ.
Until we get a competent AD that puts his foot down.
Ahhhh. I really had no idea. Thatâs interesting, so basically TW is funding a program that hes overseeing, explaining why he canât really get replaced?
