Message: [QUOTE="Timonen, post: 471623, member: 81"] This is the one line that scares me. Football decisions don't happen in a vacuum, isolated from academics. Smart investments that return revenue, awareness, increased applications,etc are wins across the board. Athletics are a revenue stream and a vehicle to raise up every aspect of a university. I don't suspect our move to the ACC was done with academics at the forefront (though it's a nicer neighborhood in that regard). It was done to increase revenue. Our decisions on coaches/facilities fall under the exact same umbrella as that. The decisions should be in alignment...or the first decision/investment will be a waste. [/QUOTE]
