TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Make no mistake. Milton Overton Jr. was hired to save Florida A&M’s athletic department.
It needs saving.
Documents from the last FAMU Board of Trustees meeting show the athletic program’s deficit at the end of June would be $8.956 million, about $1.4 million more than at the end of July last year.
The issues are legion, and many of them wer e documented in the budget overview from the June 9 meeting.
Here are some of the points: •There have been four athletic directors and three head football coaches in the past 12 months.
•For an approximately two-week overlapping period, the university had two entire football coaching staffs; this resulted in an additional $55,000.
•FAMU had to pay terminal leave for the ADs, coaches and other staff who were relieved of their duties. This totaled an additional $512,000.
