People keep saying this because of dollars remaining on a contract. I don't know what the value of having renewed excitement and hope in the basketball program, but in terms of tickets, merchandise, concessions and donations, I know the answer is not $0.I'm saying that there is no way Jamie Pollard fires Prohm after this year. None.
If the season continues to go this poorly and Haliburton leaves, you can bet the excitement by fans for basketball season will crater. Good luck selling tickets for Prairie View A&M or any game for that matter. Good luck selling as much merchandise and continuing to increase the donations.
I'm sure the lost value for a given year is less than chipping off a year of the contract and buyout, but there is a tangible loss in dollars with a decrease in fan engagement in basketball.
