I think they need to not spend money on it

but if you got a donor and that's what they want, whatever.

and even though I'm not a fan of baseball as a whole I have a history of liking our baseball program.... but the reality is it's just not worth investing in in this environment. Sucks, but that's what it is.

It's extra not worth spending any money on unless they move the season from April to July
