I called Bud and the Manchild today to talk to Bud as a follow up on this article which contains my quesiton in the #2 slot:

[URL="http://www.syracuse.com/poliquin/index.ssf/2016/08/dino_babers_on_his_dream_job_bleeding_orange_clint_eastwood_10_questions.html#incart_river_index"]Dino Babers on his dream job, bleeding Orange, Clint Eastwood (10 questions)[/URL]

Babers kind of side-stepped my question about whether SU has what he needs to succeed so I asked Bud for his assessment on how competitive our facilities are. He said that a few yeas ago he regarded our facilities as "kind of primitive" but from his point of view, they are now "Taj Mahal-like". He thinks the IPF, the locker-rooms, the eating facilities are state of the art- form his point of view.

But, "climbing out of my moccasins", he knows that Clemson just opened up a $90 million facility complete with "nap rooms" for the players and that other schools like Oregon have built amazing places for their players and Syracuse will never match that.

I wondered if, beyond a certain point, the Law of Diminishing Returns might apply such that these people are spending all this money and it's not going to produce that much better teams better teams than they would normally get.   Bud replied that "somebody thinks it will make a difference. That's why they are spending the money."

I hope we don't have to spend what certain schools are spending to have a good team. What would Dino Babers do with "nap rooms"?
