Each coach can dole out the money as they see fit. Here is the start of a problem.

I don't understand the their math. Paying $600K and splitting evenly between men's and women's sports but they are paying men's basketball, women's bball and football. How does that work exactly?

It doesn't; and they'll soon change it or wish they had.

I think it's actually a good move provided there are controls and governance in place to monitor the way it's doled out. I've always been a fan of pushing decisions further down in an organization as opposed to keeping all decisions at the top or applying a mathematical formula to something that really needs a bit of flexibility.

We will see how it plays out though.

I agree in most business cases. I just think that when it comes to coaches giving out money this is a real bad idea. As you say though we will have to see.
