[QUOTE="jgtengineer, post: 459546, member: 3094"] USF also had a lot more juco transfers than us, much easier majors. and on a recruiting level isn't that far off of us. I'd argue that it takes more budget not less to recruit talent on par with higher budget places For instance, their 2016 recruiting class was ranked 66, ours was 60th and the only class we are more than 10 places better than them is their 2017, but they added some juco depth to account for that. You are also not seeing the bigger picture with regards to budgets. USF still out staffs us in support staff, hell even Ga state out staffs us in support staff. We might pay our people more but we have less of them and any industrial engineer would tell you about the loss of man hours effecting performance. The more eyes you have on recruiting the more likely you are to find people who slip through the cracks. USF also supports only 15 total sports, with many of their other programs outside of Football completely underfunded and not cared about at all. They also don't support swimming, which means that they don't budget in the overhead cost of maintaining their RAC into their athletics cost ( pretty sure tech does at least partially due to the swim teams). Raw numbers aren't everything. also while our overall budget is nearly double our football budget is 17 mill and usf is 10.6 million there isn't that big of a difference. theirs would be higher too but they can afford a coach like strong because he's being paid by texas.
