[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 663389, member: 1191"] Let's look at it this way: Say in 2007 Coach A had a budget of $500,000 (made up number for illustration purposes) and that was roughly in line with the NCAA standard. Maybe a tad lower, but not enough to cripple a program. In 2008 Coach B inherits the program and the budget. As years progress, the budgets of surrounding schools baloon yet Coach B still has to make do off the $500k he inherited. What used to be roughly 80% of what the factories were spending is now less than half. Now, you can argue using semantics that no resources were ever taken away, and that the previous coaches had the same resources, and you'd be technically correct. You'd also be ignorant of the current spending by competitors to say that we should be able to produce 2007 level results on a 2007 level budget in 2016. That's like handing you enough money to take your family to the movies in 2007 and expecting you to make it work today. The cost of doing business always goes up, and we should have been keeping pace with our competitors, but we weren't. There was a news article a few years ago when GT added 4 new recruiting staff that mentioned how GT had at that time half of what Duke had in terms of recruiting. We were getting passed by Duke, and wondered why they were able to field teams that could beat us. Those articles have been posted here before as proof, but people generally ignore what doesn't support their agenda. So, no, CPJ didn't have resources "taken away" from him, but where he started was much better resource wise than where we were when CGC came on board. Note, in fairness to TStan, since he came on board there has been a push to raise the money to hire new staff, and the AI 2020 initiative, which he started after talks with the GTAA and CPJ, includes money to help fund staff positions sorely needed to compete, so help was on the way. Upon hiring CGC, the donors helped fund some of the additional staff that CPJ didn't have. (We still need more, but that's for another thread) [/QUOTE]
