Message: [QUOTE="Jetskies, post: 5358991, member: 12253"] agreed on all points. Vandy is... [I]currently. [/I] Will it last? i could be full of sugarhoney, but my money is on it NOT lasting. Football is just too expensive to STAY good at, and getting worse by the year. And as costs gets worse, Vandy will prioritize their cash cows; STEM. The Vandy coach will get his payday, at an Auburn or Mississippi state, or wherever LSU's Athletic Director is employed next; that guy just hands out cash to coaches like taxpayers don't exist. Michigan and Ohio State are the only schools I can think of, who have grandfathered their way into winning BOTH in the classroom and on the field. Other than that, I can't think of too many other schools who have really distinguished themselves in both arenas & spent the necessary dollars, to stay at the front of [I]both [/I]lines. also agreed on the "power Ivy" league - I think it needs to happen ASAP so these schools can stop being dragged along to the big P2 show; they don't want or need to spend that kind of football money, to achieve their financial goals & overall mission. Stanford and Duke do.not.care. about going to the CFP. So stop trying to [I]make[/I] them spend like an Oregon. I think eventually they will give in and band together to establish the Power Ivy. It would live in the purgatory, between P2 and G6. And once again, UConn will not be invited lol, but for different reasons - we're not prestigious enough. SIGHHHHHH [/QUOTE]
