I understand everything you said but in a more reasonable manner, let me ask you again a previous question. If an athletic department has been mediocre for over 15 years, primarily due to hiring low level coaches and not paying very much, and truly wants to adequately compete, how do they not properly plan the budget and reassess annually? More so, knowing current salaries and properly planning in case of failure, to pay a contract (even worse after not learning from 4 premature extensions) that they negotiated in advance?
College football today is not the same game it was 15-20 years ago. The Adidas deal, the latest football and basketball TV deals and the upcoming ACC Network have put us the closest we've ever been to equal footing financially to other big time programs.
But even with that the gap is still huge. We started way behind and other schools have been spending bigger numbers than ever.
