I'm glad he came back, but exactly who do you think provides the money for his salary? One thing I know, this will show up in the prices for tickets, concessions, memorabilia etc etc.
Tickets? Maybe... it would be marginal. How much were season tickets this year? You may see a small bump next season.
Concessions and memorabilia? Doubt those prices change at all. Conversely, if Barnes remains successful and packs TBA then sales for both increase which would help offset his salary.
The money to pays coaches primarily comes from TV contracts, sponsorships, and fundraisers. And like concessions, if Barnes keeps the program winning then donations will continue to go up.
