In today’s environment, the AD needs to report to the GM, its professional

sports now. The players start getting paid in July, why act like it’s not happening, because you long for the good old days, which weren’t good for everybody by the way. So yeah buy out Whit now, that should be a good ROI, but redo everything based on the current environment.
