Welp, this is in the weeds. Back to the core point about off field recruiting staff:
Hell yes we can, and should, hire more.
We profited 10M a year for several years in a row, which went into a "rainy day fund". Even if Covid cost us 33% of our revenue (it didn't due to the SEC network paying out so much) that still leaves money in the bank. Not "we are in small amounts of debt", MONEY IS STILL IN THE BANK! And next this year with the vaccine we can expect to run at least close to a profit. And in 2 years the extra $20M a year of TV revenue kicks in.
Hiring 5 guys at 100k each to help recruiting is a drop in the bucket. It doesn't cause us to go into debt, and if it did that debt would be paid off like nothing when the TV deal kicks in.
As for it "not moving the needle", well that's ridiculous. Bama and UGA spend millions on their off field staff for a reason. Of course it matters. If it going to get our recruiting classes from #25 to #20? NO, but it might make it #23-24, and with how much money football brings in that small bit of gain = far more money than it costs us.
