[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 602124, member: 2175"] I don't claim to know but last week I read a piece by the Clemson AD regarding yet another project, and according to him, the football program is self-sustaining and gets no university money. I believe he said football grosses $50 million a year. Certainly IPTAY is a big player. (And the reason Alabama will never be able to outbid Clemson if it ever got to that.) But as to the rest of it -- "best collection of assistant money could buy", well, no. We forget that in either his first or second full contract year, Swinney turned down a hefty pay increase with the provision it all go to assistants salaries, so he hardly was flush in the early years. (I think I recall that Johnson did something similar, but I'm not sure.) The mega-deals with OC and DC are certainly retention aimed. It may not be intended but it is dismissive to write off his accomplishments as all to do with money. The man can coach and has built something special in the Upstate. I hope Collins can emulate this, but it is a tough nut to crack and there are dozens of moving parts. [/QUOTE]
