Heather dug a hole she could not fill

Why didn't Heather get a contract extension? Was that her choice or Pitt's? If Pitt didn't offer an extension, why wouldn't she be looking?

What do you mean by "funded?" Every scholarship at Stanford is endowed. Endowed at Pitt, no, not even close.

Does the athletic department make 85 scholies available for football, yes. All varsity sports at Pitt currently have a full complement of NCAA max limit scholarships available, which was the case in the Big East days. However, the only way to ensure that going forward is to endow them.

Yes, thank you. Endowed would have been the right word. And yes, that was my point when it comes to booster support.

And I am saying massive cuts are coming everywhere and the P2 arent going to get kicked out of the NCAA if they drop below. What will probably happen is that there will be no minimum requirement. So start cutting, Jane.

That won't happen for a lot of reasons, mostly because the people who run universities aren't interested in operating pro sports franchises, so just give it up.
