Re: I'm sure you were there in the front row and you might be right ...
I understand what published reports said. Ab being all in and staying all in was not tied to the termination but was critically tied to hiring Bennett. On top pf that there were another half dozen vital donors and regents involved. Pat Richter ran that like a business and went all out to get Bennett. Check out the cash problems in the athletic department in the last 10 years. Only by hiring Alvarez could they turn around football and win and fill the stadium. Only winning fills the stadium. In hoops they had a atrocious 40 years and under the advisement of hall of fame coaches targeted Bennett as a known builder that drew crowds wherever he went. Some in the know wanted to hire him in 1985 but UW was run by a clown fiesta at the time.
