Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 5537440, member: 1145"] It's not sustainable in the SEC. If Vandy were in the ACC, then its wealthy alums finally donating for football in a big way could keep the program near the top of the league for years as long as they keep the right coach. Lea is that right coach for Vandy. Why is it not sustainable ib the SEC? Because in CFB, larger state flagship and land/or land grants schools located near top level recruiting have much easier paths to building and maintaining top programs that do almost all private schools (ND and SC and then Miami being the main exceptions to the rule). The SEC has 15 state flagship and/or land grant schools and then also has Vandy. So when will Lea leave? Maybe not until Vnady starts going back down again. Until then, his love of the city and school, both of which are tied to him generationally, may keep him there. [/QUOTE]
