Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 4785225, member: 173"] The belief in the 90s was the Dome was enough to keep us top 3 in the Big East, and occasionally good enough to win the league. That was good enough for the BOT, which is why they were OK with plundering athletic department revenues instead of using those revenues to reinvest in the program. I think that fell apart so quickly that the BOT flipped to “we’ll never be top 3 in our conference, all we should shoot for is not consistently being bottom three and making bowls may maybe half the time”. The only consistent is that the funding was never and will never be a high priority. I know we’ve invested a lot recently - in reality that’s just spending to catch up so we don’t turn into the Vanderbilt of the ACC. (I doubt we could spend enough at this point anyway - the decisions of the Buzz Shaw era made the current struggles inevitable). [/QUOTE]
