M any gaps needed to be filled in the area of sports also, and indeed they were. After the abrupt departure of two coaches, Athletic Director Paul Roach took over as head football coach and Benny Dees landed the job of coaching a nationally-ranked basketball team. University revenues increased as a result of the post-season Sea World Holiday Bowl and the television royalties from Western Athletic Conference basketball. As one gap was filled, another opened in a never-ending battle.
