[QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4807712, member: 27"]
Agree with this.  SU has made unprecedented commitments to football in the last decade.  They added the IPF (without checking, I think it just makes that timeline), the dome renovations, which continue and the football operations center.  That has to be over $300 million.  I would consider that a major commitment.

I believe we are finally paying a competitive salary to the football HC and I believe the budget for assistants has been greatly expanded.  There is more money for recruiting and private jets are available to the staff.  The support staff for football (for recruiting, nutrition, mental health, etc.) has been greatly expanded as well.  All this has changed in the last couple of years.

Even without the football operation center, we are a lot more competitive with our peers than we were a decade ago.

I think we have increased our budget more than any other school in the conference, at least by percentage of where it was.

The biggest problem is that we have been directing all this money towards staff and infrastructure.  The rest of the football world has changed and is funneling almost all funds raised towards NIL.  When the football operations center and the dome renovation is done, we will have a relatively level playoff field (somewhere near the middle of the ACC).

Then we can focus on catching up with NIL.
