Well this hurts recruiting..
I replied to this in another thread(with another poster commenting instead of KQ), but I do not read his comments as being about the school administration.
The GTAA does not have as much money as Clemson, but it is not on the school administration. In 2015, Clemson(the school) spent $4 million on the athletic department with no student fees applied to athletics. Ga Tech(the school) spent$2 million plus $5.1 million in student fees. So the school spent more money on athletics than Clemson. If you want to see where the difference is, you have to look at the fans. Clemson received $20 million in donations while Ga Tech received $11.1 million. Clemson sold $21.9 million dollars worth of tickets while Ga Tech sold $9.2 million.
It is easy to sit back and blame someone else. However, the school and the students are doing more than Clemson. The people at fault are the fans. If you are not donating money, then you are the problem. If you are not buying season tickets, then you are the problem. If you are not convincing fellow alumni and fans to donate money and buy tickets, then you are the problem.
