BW could go 2-10 this year, 2-10 next year, and 2-10 the following year and he won’t be gone. THERE IS NO MONEY FOR HIS BUYOUT

I don't think that's true. If he's fired after this season his buyout is 1.2 million. I think we can all agree that's not going to happen. It looks like it drops 300K every season through 2021 when his contract expires. Under a million I think we can afford and at some point won't be able to afford not to.

1.2 million
900k
600k
300k
Which buyout do you think ODU can afford?

To put things into perspective. I can't find the exact number but we generated some where around 17 MM from tickets, donations and licensing and if you were a AD what do you think you'd do? Would you lose revenue from tickets and donations or would you pony up and pay that 900k or what ever that is in an attempt to fix the drain on revenue?
