I wonder if those bonuses roll up or if you just get the top line.

Being that Marcus Davis as named the #3 Cruiter in the country, should warrant a nice bump, especially if this group he brought in lives up to the hype.

Not sure why you would factor in a bonus at all for making the Birmingham Bowl, but whatever.

Agreed.  There should be a caveat that it must include a winning record.  If we don't have a winning record in '24, I might go postal.  3 losing seasons with the resources and dedicated fans we have should never happen.
