    Give more. We need to double our giving. We are last. And until we start throwing money at this it won't get fixed. Organizationally were are poor compared to the rest of the SEC. That's a fact. We need to double our giving to even sniff long term being a competitor.

    I've stumped on this a long time and so many people continue to say money isn't an issue. It's an issue when you compare to the SEC. Top 25 recruiting classes are what we keep asking for. Guess what? That puts us best case scenario 8th or 9th in the conference. We need cash flow to fix our problem if we want to compete in the SEC consistently in football. Period.

    Not saying your wrong, but with all this sec/tv contract money(millions) that we have gained within this decade and has been going up, we couldn't have used a sliver of that to raise a few salaries and hire some more recruiting guys? With how everyone says we are dirt cheap on salaries, it couldn't cost that much for a few raises and more positions could it? Exactly where is all this added money going to?

    We are supposedly banking $15MM per year instead of spending it on salaries and positions. What makes you think increased alumni donations will be used for the right reasons?

    Yeah I don't get it either. Bank 14mm and take a mil for salaries and hires. Or 13. Or whatever it takes.

    Where does that info come from? Is that legit?

    What would we do that - to dedicate it towards facility upgrades or something?
