Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 4127316, member: 874"] It depends on how rich the boosters are. Weitsman is rich compared to most of us but probably not compared to the richest boosters. There are certainly filthy rich boosters that have made excellent financial decisions to get where they are that will consistently throw money at 18-22 year olds to help their team win. To them it's no different than flying to Vegas to drop a bunch of cash at the casino. It's play money and the priority of their team winning trumps most other things. They're not looking at a financial ROI. We've already seen it with the facility wars. A chunk of that money will simply shift to the athletes. That's why it's easy to see which programs will be able to buy the best players. [/QUOTE]
