Message: [QUOTE="augustaTC, post: 2589843, member: 7216"] Excellent coach+very strong school support (facilities, academics, financial)+talented players = success. Generally can't get the players without the first two. I kinda hope Coach Abe at UCF is the exception to the launch pad rule. The school certainly seems to have what it takes to succeed (nice location, very good facilities, $, growing national awareness, primarily via football, etc) and I guess they may have some talent coming in next year. Looks sustainable to me. That's the model, at least these days. Pretty much depends on the Institution and the ADs to make it work. [/QUOTE]
