Message: [QUOTE="Puppy Love, post: 3193267, member: 8101"] Power 5 equals money, but it doesn’t equate to success. A lot of the discussion about football seems to conflate success and money. Great coaches are the way to be successful. Schools with a lot of money can (but don’t always chose to-here’s looking at you Lady Vols) buy proven coaches. Schools without a ton of money or reputation can get great coaches by hiring a young unknown with promise. When Geno was hired, both UConn and the Big East were a joke in women’s basketball. In those early days, the program was built on local recruits and big out of conference wins. The path to football respectability might be similar. Stop worrying about the conference, get a young coach who can convince regional kids to stay home and win some games. The conference problem will eventually solve itself. [/QUOTE]
