[QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 467419, member: 78"]
here are my assumptions because i'm no insider
 
1.Marrone wants more money for facilities
2.The ACC means SU gets a lot more money.
3.Gross is the one who actually asks for the money.
4.Gross loves spending other peoples money on sports no one cares about but himself
5.The BOT trusts the dapper drunken sailor less than as far as they could throw him.
 
This sounds like some boring managerial accounting mess to me, just like back in the Jake Buzz days. Back then, the school (not the athletic department) snagged all the concession revenue as if they were the ones that actually earned it
 
Who does the school think actually earned the spot in the ACC? Whatever percentage they assign to the football team, multiply that by the increase in revenue from that ACC spot, and the AD should be free to spend that on the football program
 
I suspect that the football program gets way less credit from the SU bigwigs for the school's inclusion in the big east ([I]EDIT ACK ACC NOT BIG EAST ACK[/I]). I suspect they credit the basketball program first and then credit themselves (connective corridor!)
 
If they don't trust Gross, then sh!tcan him and get someone in here to spend that money. But Gross spending too much on women's quidditch doesn't mean that Marrone is wrong about football spending
 
If they're not going to spend ACC money on facilities, what are they going to spend it on?
