Which is why this quote is so absurdly dumb I can barely process it...

[I]"If you’re the Yankees, you should be beating everyone. If you’re the Royals, every win is a bonus. The way that you assess a coach has to change."[/I]

Such a stupid analogy.  I guess I missed the Mets and Padres playing in the NLCS this season.  If we've learned [I]anything[/I] from pro sports over the past couple decades it's that simply spending a ton of money doesn't guarantee a damn thing.

You need to balance the appropriate amount of large salaries with oodles of cost-controlled talent.  You need a player development pipeline to ensure you have that cost-controlled talent.  You need great talent evaluators and coaching staff to build that pipeline.

The era of NIL is going to turn college programs into pseudo-MLB franchises from a financial management standpoint.  Syracuse is a small-market team, but that doesn't mean we should shut the program down.  We simply need to have smart people making smarter decisions.

I mean the Diamondbacks have MLB's 21st ranked payroll, after all.
