I got a history of Tim Brando not knowing what the hell he's talking about in terms of CR to fall back on, but in terms of P5 optimism, not much.

Our best path to the P5 in the near future (near being anywhere between 5-10 years) lays in a combination of:

1) Continuing to improve academically to the point of achieving AAU status.

2) Winning more and more football games every season.

Longterm the only way to stay on the P5 radar is to achieve 1 & 2 and figure out a way to scratch out enough new revenue to keep our athletic department running at a P5 level. The state subsidy isn't going to continue at it's current level (though it won't dry up completely), as far as I can tell we can try to:

1) [B]Go all in on building a SEC-level booster network around our men's and women's bball programs (and to a lesser extent Football and eventually Hockey)[/B]. Coming from Auburn I think Benedict can actually get that done.

2) [B]Somehow free up our T3 media rights. Not so easy. [/B]

So, yeah, no easy solutions.
