point its, there is an arms race, and either participate, keep up with your competition, or dont. And if you choose dont, they dont bitch when you go 4-8.
Absolutely shameless....

Nice office. Too bad the occupant doesn't know any better than to put shoes on the table.
Don't forget, during that time period, the same Governor that torched our University drastically cut back on funding for education.
If it comes to that, what I'll bitch about is the inability of the AD to raise the money/
He picked a random timeframe. But you could go back to 2001 (as someone else mentioned) since any major renovation was done.
Any stat they quote should exclude sanction years if they really want to show a true analysis. The sanction years are an obvious outlier.
Really? Two things:
1. You think he doesn't know or hasn't been asked?
2. Beaver Stadium is/was 15 years out last we looked.
Some people need to get their asses in gear!
Army has big plans to renovate one of college football’s best stadiums

Army has a slight advantage; it's called the U.S. Treasury.
Well, the master plan is a master plan. Like most master plans, they're created with a perfect world in mind.
Since we don't have an AD who can fund raise, it's not a perfect world to implement the master plan.

I guess what I was trying to say was, is it possible that some revenue generated by sports(football) was used to supplement the educational side?
No. The Athletic Department was running a deficit. Cash flowed the other way.
Spending money on facilities doesn’t guarantee you a winning program obviously, but not spending money pretty much guarantees you a sub standard program. If you want to compete, you have to do so with your checkbook as well as with everything else that goes into building a program.
If he’s pointing out things like the carpet hadn’t been changed in 20 years, that goes well beyond a sanctions issue. My guess is the whole program got stale toward the end of Joe’s career.
No, it's not a stupid comment by Franklin. It's simply the truth.
AWS1022 is spot on. Our football program had gotten stale - in many ways - during the final years of JoePa.
so stale that we were going to win the B1G in 2011 if he was allowed to coach the season! truth!
Seriously, slugger, don't go there. Joe is gone. Curley is gone. Assholes like michshit can blame the dead guy, but the dead guy isn't preventing the new regime from moving forward.
Pffffffffffffttttttttttttttttt ........... this is revisionist history to the 20th degree. A ridiculous post.
Yes, we were 5-0 in conference when JoePa was fired. We also had not faced the only 2 teams on our conference schedule which would actually finish above .500 in conference play. Neither had we faced Ohio State (who would go 3-5 in the B1G in 2011).
That 5-0 conference record was fool's gold. If JoePa was around, we would have lost to Wisconsin 45-7, just as much as we did in actual life. That 2011 team wasn't very good. Did you actually watch JoePa's last game against mediocre Illinois???
Can't imagine that she would. But first she'd have to hire an AAD in charge of carpet removal and another in charge of carpet replacement. That might take a while.
and how do you know this that Wisky would beat us?? your opinion, right? did I actually watch the game? we won didnt we? nuh said.
Fvckwad, we're talking about facilities here, not Joe's record, So get with the program or crawl back up your ass.
Slugger, stay on topic. You're giving dickface what he wants.
was it Jay or Scott that used to shoot spit balls off the back of your head in English 101?
Your post made me imagine something frightening - what if we didn't have Jay on the sideline for that 2011 Wisconsin game???????
Given that Joe's absence cost us 39 points, I figure Jay's absence would have cost us another 20.
We would have lost 65-7 instead of 45-7!
Thankfully, Jay was also at the Ticket City Bowl!
