LOL. It isn't like we' have a University that is so stupid that they rob athletics instead of feeding it and watching it grow. 0r is it? Perhaps that is one of the reasons why a Wall Street analyst recently estimated the value of Bama's football program at a BILLION dollars and ours at just over $300M.
Perhaps some of our fans should read the article by the PRESIDENT of Boise State raving about how going major college in football (and spending the money to do so) has made their University grow so much and has increased their donations so much. How much did the money saved by doing NOTHING except necessary maintenance for football for our ADs first DECADE guiding our athletics department cost us in losing 20,000 season ticket holders AND their donations?
How many dollars did the two TWO win seasons and no bowl game for five years cost us?
Now we are approaching another long period of falling behind the Joneses. Florida is about to finish their $80,000,000 football facility, and it isn't like we have more in state talent than they do.
It didn't come to a natural death. It was starved to death.
LOL. Then specify you were talking about the first half. Or at least try to refrain from calling posters you know nothing about idiots.
