[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 805789, member: 789"] This is exactly GT’s problem. We want to be Bammer on Saturday, MIT Mon-Fri[B] AND[/B] do it for under $100. At some point you either commit or you don’t. If you commit, you spend to upgrade the program- facilities, staff, recruiting, etc. It costs upwards of $75M, probably nearer $100M per year to compete Top 15 in annual $$. The model needs to be designed to get that revenue, ticket sales & donations plus merchandise & contracts, ie ACC Network, etc. Ticket prices have to go up, it’s just basic economics, the money isn’t just going to fall out of the sky & we don’t have the type of school that’s got game changing big money donors. Besides annual revenue the program may need another $150-200M in facilities upgrades on top of the current initiatives. Yes, additive not part of the ongoing efforts to upgrade. We can leverage some things like our location, we can embed technological prowess into our program & become a leader instead of a follower, etc but that only enhances other program improvements & are not core elements of what we need to do. If we don’t commit, our range is 3-8 wins per year with an occasional flier where we have that magical 10-11 win season. GT will never have an elite football program when we don’t compete like we do in academics. [/QUOTE]
