[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 778599, member: 844"] To piggyback off of this, I think there are parallels here between business/entreprenuership and college athletics. Some schools/admin/AD's see opportunity for ROI and spend accordingly. What difference does it make what you spend if it can justify itself? (again, within legal and moral parameters). Then there are the followers who aren't sure what they are doing and why they are doing it. They throw money at the problem because they think that is the answer to the problem....i.e, Clemson and Bama spend X and look at how they are doing so why don't we spend a lot too, maybe 75% of X because we don't have what they have. You are always playing catchup in his scenario. You are either in front or copying what the people in front are doing. But if you don't have that same vision for success, you are an imitator. Which most oftentimes relegates you to the middle and back of the line. I used to see this in the corporate gigs I had. Some of the brass wanted to copy and paste from what other people were doing. Rarely were those types of intitiatives and/or "leaders" successful. I get that there are mundane things that you do not spend the time and energy reinventing the wheel but it never works (in my experience) on the bigger ideas and strategies. [/QUOTE]
