Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5067950, member: 44"] See my reply above to [USER=156]@noeynox[/USER]. Those are all soft operational costs. That's not the connotation when you say that "we have not invested in football." That phrase suggest a facilities issue, which we don't have (notwithstanding the need to dump a projected 175 million into the Rent.) For what it's worth, I also hate when people analyze our football budget as a percentage of our basketball budget and compare to other schools percentages. We " invest " a [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)]e[/COLOR]ton of money in our basketball programs to make them world-class. The fact that other institutions under invest in their basketball means that their investment in football is a higher percentage compared to their investment. That's a dumb and meaningless comparison. Now, if you want to compare our football budget to a P4 football budget, that's a fair comparison. [/QUOTE]
