I mean we have done A TON of capital improvements in recent years. In the last decade we?ve built a new football only facility, did a major renovation and expansion of the football stadium, built a brand new state of the art baseball stadium, did major facility upgrades for pretty much every Olympic sport, we pay our major sport coaches more than many of our peers and recently increased assistant coach salary pools. And we still are turning a profit. This isn?t even considering The Hump renovations that will break ground in the next year or two (I personally would prefer a new arena but if that?s not happening at least we are doing something to help The Hump).
Are we still behind the big boys in many ways? Sure. And there?s a good chance that will always be the case on some fronts. But we have definitely come a long way and taken positive steps to close the gap. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at the Templeton administration and administrations prior to that who really let us fall to the back of the pack in a big way. We have spent the last decade plus playing catch-up and still have plenty of room to grow.
