    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?

    Could we possibly expand our athletic offerings? Men's soccer, gymnastics, swimming/diving?

    It does have a bigger impact on us because it increases our resources more percentage wise.

    I'd like to see ABC do away with 11 AM games in September if not altogether.

    Have less Finebaum on the SEC Network and replace the other 5-6 hours with replays of old games and stories about SEC players and coaches.

    More night games in general.

    Do away with divisions and go to a 3 permanent five rotating SEC format.

    That's my wishlist.

    It should be weighted like the draft. The less you win, the more money you make.

    If we went to 3 permanent, they'd probably give us Mississippi, LSU and Alabama,

    11am games arent going anywhere- but they should be relegated to eastern time zone teams....but alas they wont.

    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.

    Doubtful.

    LSU would probably get Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Alabama.

    Alabama would probably get Auburn, Tennessee, LSU.

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

    That's likely what ours would be.

    The no money excuse was BS before this. If Gelding Cohen uses it after a sub par football season next year, he needs to go too.

    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.
