The SEC is the biggest arms race in American sports and I'm having trouble reconciling in my mind how I should look at MSU having the conference's lowest athletic budget, one of the most physically fit departments in the conference, and the fact that we have nowhere near the best facilities or recruiting classes.

Basically, outside of preparing for a pandemic, why are we trying to save so much money? How do we justify that?

On one hand there's being good stewards of your money and on the other hand, we are clearly not doing everything we can to win.

Are we too conservative?
