Franklin's sales pitch to recruits is 1) go to one of the best academic schools in the country, 2) play in the best football conference in the country, 3) be in one of the best cities in the country, and 4) at least for the time being, the chance for early playing time.
 Every school needs money. Even the Ivies, who have the largest endowments need money. State schools are larger, get state funding and have a larger alumni base. Believe me Vandy is all about money
 Tenn is going to have a tough road back, they aren't exactly having coaches clamoring for the open job, Vandy badly out recruited them for the few top state players, Kimbrow and Jelks
 Personally, when you have to compete against the outlaw schools like Bama, et al, I don't see Vandy ever playing for the national title, but possibly getting to the conf champ game doesn't seem so far fetched as it once did. The east is more winnable than the west. Vandy did have a favorable schedule this year, didn't have to play Bama/LSU, but we did play FL, GA, and SC, and without belaboring the point, two of those games this year were within our grasp, and as the recruitng binge continues and we get even better, well, I believe in James Franklin
