[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 149619, member: 2175"] Think so. In the mid '80s I was sent to a kind of banking conference in Atlanta -- my job has nada to do with banking, but the boss thought like bosses sometimes think -- and sat next to Jerry Stovall who had just been fired as AD at LSU and was working PR for a Baton Rouge bank. (I guess his boss thought he should know something about banking.) On his left was a Clemson guy who as I recall owned a metal fabricating company. He and Stovall, much to my surprise, talked very openly about what it cost to compete for championships. Don't remember the numbers so much as the booster talking about the "big checks getting bigger" or something like that. It was a bit after Charlie Pell had moved on to Florida but Clemson was in NCAA trouble. Regardless, I felt like a babe in the woods about this stuff. Never dreamed it could be like that, anywhere.
