Excitement Level for Football on a 1-10?

[Jarius]

Find an extra $15m a year we can spend on football (coaching salaries, off field staff, and NIL... you'd need more than 15m to compete on facilities) and then sure, let's expect to compete with the big boys.

Right now, as far as I'm concerned we have a program we can win nattys in and a program we can make the Gator bowl in. Personally, I am more interested in following the first even though the 2nd is financially more important to the university

If our in state rival that we have been equals with for almost our entire existence can find the money, so can we. The problem is that we spent 60 million dollars (30 that wasn’t funded by donors) on a niche sport stadium and god knows how much on NIL that no one outside of a few fanbases give a damn about. Every other fanbase in the SEC would trade 100 baseball national titles for 1 football national title, but ours would rather worry about grilling hot dogs and feeding opposing players than actually putting forth the effort and financial commitment to compete in the sport that actually matters. Your opinion is a cancer to our athletics department and one day there are going to be super conferences that we have a real shot to get left out of and you guys can enjoy hosting southern miss and Troy every weekend in your big nice stadium.
