But Clemson wasn’t always Clemson. They were once little brother in their own state. Their ascent to super elite status is recent. Therein lies the hope. Does UofL have the next Dabo? As in field of dreams, build it and they will come. We just need a coach to stick around and not suck.
Clemson has always been a football school. They won a title back in the 80’s. Now they have made a significant investment into the football program and Dabo has proven to be the right guy. They have been the dominate football school in South Carolina 71-42.
I myself don’t know it to be true. But have heard from others that have seen Fl St, and North Carolina’s facilities and they say that our facilities are better. There was also a recruit from out west that said he was surprised at how good our facilities were and that they were the best he had seen. Better then both UCLA and USC.
This is garbage. I listen to a ton of sports radio and they all concur that no one has better facilities than UofL.
This is not an economically sustainable model for college football. Ultimately, there is a limit to what even Phil Knight will pay. It’s “amateur” athletics, with no real ROI. With the changes in tax law, this kind of thing cannot and will not go on for much longer.
I don't have a problem with that perspective if you're investing at the level of the elite schools. We ain't anywhere close.
The thread was about UofL not having top 25 facilities. Frankly, I think the difference between us and, say Clemson is just a bunch of fluff that makes no difference to the quality of the team or the experience. UofL athletes have everything the need and then some. As regards the “elite level” we were never there and unlikely to be there ever, for the reasons I stated above. I mean to say that the current model is not sustainable for anybody.
