[QUOTE="TheAnonymous404, post: 688498, member: 5169"] Or maybe there is another possibility that it was a general comment and not directed solely at you my friend, again nothing on this board should be taken personally. I am glad that you are able to agree with me on that. I appreciate the article that you posted from 2017. Here are my takeaways: many other programs operate with a significant debt and are still able to invest in their programs. We are not going to get rid of $200 M dollars of debt overnight, and certainly whether we keep Pastner or not isn't going to change that number significantly. I appreciate you brining up the debt as a point to the argument, but I see other programs are able to operate with similar or greater debts.

Also, there are factors that have changed since 2017 such as the revenue that we now have from the ACC network, which is projected to continue to increase.

I just don't like the learned helplessness because of this or that obstacle that we can't be good because I think we can find a way to excel in athletics and academics. In regards to the football facility, it doesn't need to be 100 yards, and its looks just fine too me [URL]https://ramblinwreck.com/sports/genrel/facilities/brock-football-practice-facility/[/URL] .
