Jon Vilma was speaking facts about facilities today and the impact on them in the mind of recruits on college football live today after they showed LSU new lockeroom ...
He said he had always loved Miami and didn’t care about facilities as Miami didn’t have the most impressive facilities back then. He just had an affinity for the school and what they done in the past. Now a days these kids grow up with no affinity to certain schools and the facilities certainly attracts them along with winning and if you can get them to the league. People try to downplay the impact of facilities but you are sadly mistaken
You can literally waste $ on anything as a football program. LSU also wastes tons of $ on their strength & conditioning as well. I say waste because the on-field results they've gotten have not justified that type of spending. MIA as a university will NEVER be in a position where it will be able to dictate the pace of the college football arms race. It just has to make sure that it never falls too far behind, and continues to make investments in things that actually have a tangible impact on on-field performance like they've been doing recently. MIA as a university/city sells itself to recruits. Once its able to prove to recruits that it has the infrastructure to properly evaluate & develop players for the next level, this type of superfluous spending will become even less of an issue.
