Take a wild guess.

You're really missing my point and this has become boring for me.

I'm suggesting they could use more of their money to the football program if they wanted to.

We can, but we won't. That's my point, that there is no change in philosophy with this administration and the football program, which is what the OP was asking.

Offering your opinion with zero support other than "it's your belief" is hardly leading anyone to anything.

Ok, "equal opportunities" is really vague. It's not even to the point that massive amounts of dollars have been brought in by the football program is more than the, let's be generous and say $4 million more we're spending on football coaches. You're free to spend that money to fly the coaches...

The non-revenue sports were fine before those deals weren't they? The money doesn't need to be evenly distributed, the sports just need to exist.

We have more money now, that's why. With the amount of money we've brought in from Adidas, HRS, and ACC tv deals, I'm not convinced that we're spending all of that on the football program. They couldn't even help pay for the IPF.

They signed him to an even bigger contract a few months ago. Venables was making around the same, so LSU wasn't going out on a huge limb. That's just what an elite DC costs now.

Yes, that's my point. We don't have an unlimited athletic budget because nothing's changed. People think that our administration has drastically changed and is intent on spending our entire endowment on football, and that's not the case.

That is not my belief.

We didn't offer him enough money to land him. Use whatever description you'd like.

He's going to have to recruit wherever he goes, but the thing about Kool is that he has consistently been able to do more with less. The ultimate judgment is going to be the results on the field, not who's the best recruiter or the nicest guy. Hopefully it works out for the better, but that's...

I'm not arguing that. But for one, we can't say if Simpson "is anywhere near Kul with his coaching". Kool is widely respected as one of the best DL coaches in the game, and Simpson has never done it. Maybe Simpson will prove to be better than Kul over the next few years, but that's beside the...

Maybe, but that’s beside the point.

Moving to the ACC and to HRS also infused huge amounts of cash into the athletic program. Yet ultimately, Coach Richt and the boosters had to pay for every penny of the IPF. Haven't seen this administration do much of anything except sit there and watch the corn grow, but I'm glad it's...
