[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 744852, member: 282"] Academics is probably not our biggest hurdle. Cash is. If we get into the top 35 programs by revenue, then I don't think we'd hear academics as much. Here's the [URL='https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/']USA Today NCAA AD Revenue Database[/URL]. We're #50. For comparison: Clemson is #22. West Virginia is #40. UNC is 36. Rutgers is #39. Even moving up 10 spots would do amazing things. Unfortunately, it's missing some private schools like Duke and Stanford, etc. A couple of deep pocketed grads would be a major sea change. Small donations help, and you need a combination, but big money can make a big difference. ETA: What Jacket4Life says above about kids buying in is a big part of it. Get more excitement around the program and the money flows, and then more kids are interested, rinse-lather-and-repeat, and you get in a cycle of moving up and up and up. [/QUOTE]
