Except there is some question as to whether astAte actually can raise the money to pay him his full salary. The way the state salary structure is set up they can only pay him about 20% of his contract through university money. They need to generate the rest through creating more revenue streams and donors.
One of the ways they are trying to raise money is by charging 5$ to watch the Spring game, when it has always been free. Next week they'll be selling lemonade, having bake sales, and washing cars.
Malzahn hasn't signed a contract. If Tyson, the Waltons, etc. want Gus in Fayetteville, they could make it happen in a way that most the state could stomach. No way the interim guy gets the spot, unless they decide to ride the year out.
