You could also do what ISU is great at...being the last to the party. They take too long to adjust. I agree with Bird Friend. When you are spending other people's money- you don't have to have a game plan. You don't really have a dog in the fight.
Actually, the MAC had a few teams play in bowl games. A few of them had 2 million dollar payouts. That's not a joke. Bowling Greens budget was 6.9 Mil and played in a bowl. Before you make fun of it- its better than what we did this year with our 4.7 mil budget.
Our football team doesn’t have to do anything! It spends what one wants to spend on it! But, if you want the program to continue to have a higher budget than a possible program that could make a decent profit- keep going in the same direction. Wichita or Bradley doesn’t have to spend a dime on...
Give them a day and time. It doesn't have to be immediate. That allows them to transfer/figure it out. I think our football budget is like a million dollars more than basketball. I saw Drake has a 1.3 million football budget and a 3.3 mil basketball budget. The fact that our football budget is...
That's what I'm saying. If you can't bring money in independently for all three sports...You will have to choose which one to dump the funds in. We don't have an unlimited cash flow. We can pay a football coach $300,000 and a Basketball Coach roughly $650,000. If basketball can compete for an...
It's only ruining it for the teams that can't figure out how to play the game. This is pretty simple. You can't be an Alabama or Oklahoma and try and dominate multiple sports. You have to pick a sport that you can specialize in. The sooner we figure that out the quicker we will dominate.
This isn’t true. ISU was able to renovate Hancock and build a football practice facility. There is no reason they can’t find 1 million dollars a year to find a coach. Bradley and UNI are close to that number. They will need to make a priority to put a winning product on the court. They took the...
This is why Pedon needs to have an eye for the kid that exits that P5 program that can step in and help immediately! It seems the P5 is more focused on poaching transfers than looking at High School kids, Jucos and maintaining their own solid players. We only need to win the Valley Tournament to...
Again, you might be right for a season or two. ISU hung on to Muller a few years too long. We treat an NIT first round exit like it’s an NCAA. I don’t want to rehash old wounds- but Muller did nothing to deserve a lengthy extension. If so- our priorities are messed up!
