Can we please put a healthy amount Of this into full out recruiting resources
When you add money like this, it makes us more able to compete. There's only so much you can do, so much you can build. Those of uis in the middle/back of the pack are helped greatly by this because we've got more ground to be made up. Bama, LSU, Auburn, Texas A&M, and Georgia can't really recruit much better.
But we can. Big day for us.
A lot of that needs to go to academic scholarships IMO. Ole Miss offers a ton of kids in state college scholarships with full rides but State doesn't recruit academically like Ole Miss does. Recruiting, academically and athletically, has never been treated like a priority. Be nice to see that change.
I assumed this all went to the athletic department?Quote:

More night games in general.
Do away with divisions and go to a 3 permanent five rotating SEC format.
That's my wishlist.
Especially the 3 permanent 5 rotationQuote:

Alot of this money will go toward non-revenue sports that suck money out of the program. We are at the bottom of the SEC in those types of sports.
This wont help us much within the SEC- but will help us stay ahead of the Memphis, La Tech's, Boston College, and Iowa State's of the world.
Realistically I’d love ole miss Kentucky and either auburn/a&mQuote:

Depends on the AD and what his goals are. We are already underspending as it is despite a large surplus.Quote:

We'll build a dome for baseball.
Taking money away from the major sports is what that would do. No thanks. We already have a hard enough time competing in sports people care about.Quote:

Family member was offered a full ride presidential scholly to ole miss, but couldn't get a full ride at state. He got a ride at Harvard instead and went there. The fact that a Mississippi kid got a ride to Harvard and couldn't even get a full ride at State is crazy. I just don't see us being very active recruiting top academic talent.Quote:

Yeah I agree. Strickland's excuse to extend them because of loyalty and let us get screwed twice was upsetting. We should have taken them to the back then. We were at our prime them. Had just recently come off playing for the national championship in baseball and had a good football team. If they don't pay us competitively, I hope we move on. I'd much rather be represented by an American company anyway
I’m sure we’ll use the money on things other than what the majority of MSU fans want

We should have dropped them after the F--- TSUN baseball jerseys. I don't like Ole Miss obviously but I certainly don't condone that kind of language on any jersey even if it is in reference to Ole Miss. The Adidas uniforms for the SEC Tournament in 2014 were even worse than the ones that Russell Athletic made for us during Polk II's era. There was supposed to be a video reveal of those jerseys being shown to the baseball team but it was never used because none of the players liked it and thought it looked awful.Quote:

He might do it. Might not.
Like anything other than football recruiting, coaches salaries, S&C, and football facilities?**Quote:
