Message: [QUOTE="llandz, post: 471719, member: 1679"] Lots of people care about football. First of all comparing us to Penn St. or Oregon is not fair as they are big state schools, and that is one of the problems. It is harder to be an independent school in football. I am sure the Chancellor, the AD, the Trustees, the admininstration as a whole, and the athletic staff all care deeply about the state of the football program. They also have lots of other issues on their plates. Not any different than the myriad of issues we have in our own lives, and where we all have to set priorities. Yes football money drives a lot of things at the university, and can be very beneficial to help accomplish lots of things the administration needs to do. Thus the move to the ACC which was VERY proactive. A few months ago many of us were singing the praises for this move, and how everyone got the point of the importance of the football program. The only thing that has changed is the fact that Doug Marrone MIGHT go to an NFL team. Hell, he might even go to another college program. We will have to deal with it and hope we keep moving forward. Maybe he will stay, and then maybe we will go through this again in a year. The only thing I have taken from all of this, is that maybe we need some more money for facilities and salaries for the football program. That money could come from donations, and a good, solid campaign might help in that direction. Maybe some of that money will come from the ACC move, and in 3-4 years we will have enough from that for the facilites. Maybe some more money could come from those fans who are georgraphically in the area to make an effort to get to the dome and personally support the team. Either way, I am sure we will survive this, and maybe learn a little something also. [/QUOTE]
