[QUOTE="GT33, post: 896954, member: 5550"] As with everything else, there's a lot of differening opinions. There's some things that don't connect: a. We've increased salaries $4M YOY. b. Debt service, often cited as a huge issue & it is has gone down by $750 with what looks like last year's restructuring odf the debt. They did something right here. Saw storm clouds & avoided them. c. The transition perpetuated effectively by some as a 5 yr rebuild was a swiss cheese pre-loaded defense & synchs up with your above. Portal, lenient covid rules have demolished that argumment in my opinion, but it's clear it at a minimum substantially diminished it as a factor. d. Over-reliance on boosters. This is a college football issue, but yes GT got the O'Leary-Stansbury plan favored by those that wanted the type of program that made them proud & now they are being ridiculed for it. e. AD budget stress is a mitigating progblem, but every major leader of any organization of any size faces this. Good choices define whether you get out of it or not. Betting on a losing proposition has never, ever been successful. He's exacerbated his own issue, but has also failed to leverage fan support for support. It's there & we've seen it like the $37M Ops sugar pill or crack hit we delivered. f. Expenses are skyrocketing. I think we're spending $5M more annually on recruiting, our salary above went up as has $7M in general and administrative expenses. We're spending $13M more annually over and will be $18M more with no icrease in the debt service. We can blame it on deby because we'd be better off without the $13M expense, but that $18M is extra expenditures mostly on the football team likely. g. Injuries play a part, but again there's the portal. We're just not interesting high upside kids & are getting those coming off injuries or riskier players. Not the pond we should be fishing in. There's a lot of there there. One man's in charge & that's the AD. The buck stops at him. It's the unfortunate reality of being in charge. [/QUOTE]
