If Mullens can keep UO's men's and women's sports highly competitive in the Pac-12 and nationally, then he will earn every dollar he's being paid.   I for one have no desire to return to those "purer days" when 15,000-18,000 fans showed up at Autzen for a Duck football game (with the only sell outs being when UW and Notre Dame fans came to town) and  men's gymnastics, baseball, and swimming  were being cut to lessen the flood of red ink.   Division 1 college athletics is a Big Business now and so far Mullens has shown the ability to safely lead Oregon through seasonal ups and downs.  GO DUCKS!
