I disagree. It's not nearly the diminishing return that people think. If it was just one year, I would agree but over the last 5 years, depending on the school, we are as much as $400 MIL behind what they have brought in. Bama is to the point they are hoarding their new corrdinators and assistant coaches off the field until a spot opens. The auxiliary staff and student athlete support staff ratio is lower. The recruiting budget that the AD office gives the staff is millions behind other schools. What happens when our budget drops back down from the ramp up of the baseball stadium expansion? This amount of budget difference will be an issue until we are able to get to the point where no more than $100 million separates from the SEC average to Top third over a 5 year period.
