Need to get with ur buddy logan I think he had a accounting class.
If a guy gave 30 million ear marked only for the baseball stadium. Then the schools came up with, for the last time, 30 MILLION.
U got guys like jug who wants more money for rodeo club.
Dude take your inbred asss elsewhere you can say earmarked all you want, holder and company fundraised specifically for it and now the football program has to pay for the upkeep. Bottom line quit fundraising for non revenue sports.
The point is they are able to figure out how to get funding for massive projects that donât bring in any money but canât figure out how to get money to pay for championship level football coaching especially after the comments being made the last week and a half about making OSU a big time football school.
I really think Chad and shrum will do a much better job getting money to the football program, itâll just take some time, holder had to pander to all of the non revenue sports so he could justify pumping money into private golf courses
Yeah, it looks like we can expect middle of the pack in the ânewâ Big 12 with the occasional team that exceeds expectations.
I hope you are right. What Gundy was saying last week did have me excited but losing Knowles killed that excitement a decent bit. Hopefully Gundy strikes gold again on Knowles V2 because what is in place on offense right now isnât anywhere near championship level. It looks barely bowl eligible level.
Well I for one wonât wish Knowles good luck he is just like all these coaches following the money.
Iâm with ya man
Theyâre giving him 700K more a year to begin with. Thatâs an easy decision in 99% of situations. Our offer wasnât competitive.
I understand ur guys points. But the big donors who gave money to the sports were not going to give that kind of money to the football program.
My point is these programs and the events they hold do help osu and stillwater overall.
By what u guys are saying we should have pumped all that boone money into football. We could of had a new stadium. The refit of gia only has only allowed the wrestling team have bigger attendance. Basketball would have been fine with 8000.
Stillwater is just osu. So have good programs and stadiums is as good as putting 100,000 flowers out all thur campus.
It was said he want closer to home. Itâs reported to be a 2.5 mill job. That deal was done in a day.
On the osu side they were trying to give him a contract thur the year.
Iâm sorry but their were things we have to look at about Knowles. First gundy told him he needed to change after that first year. Most the players that were out their were not his. Did he recruit. We got 5 this year.
Sure he can do well at tosu he will get better players.
One of u talked about up keep. Sure these will have up keep. Itâs like cars a new car needs less then an old one.
Thing is we got to have nice stuff. Some of are recruits play baseball u dnt think they would like that new stadium.
Iâm tired of the athletic budget excuses for trying to win the Big 12. What Gundy isnât telling you guys is that Baylorâs athletic budget is literally half of OSUâs currently. Gundy would be better served getting out of coaching and being a politician.
Maybe the couple that play both care but everyone else that just plays football doesnât I can guarantee you that.
On a different tone and somewhat of a blackpill this years coaching carousel, including the Knowles hire by tOSU, is a stark reminder that College football is far from a fair level playing field. The have notâs and haveâs are very clear to see and there is no good path to moving from the former to the latter. What is brutally clear is that because of a school status (i.e. blue blood vs not a blue blood) and more importantly the huge gap in budgets between them schools like OSU will never be a consistent contender for a NC. Itâs just the hard truth sad is it is.
30 million would give us some good assistant coaches.
Well Baylor is private so i donât know how their budget is known for sure but Yea when it comes to B12 champs budget may not be as big a factor. Although I will say it is a factor in B12 titles when your DC is hired away when you donât have the budget to retain them.
Which is a better selling point at stillwater.
A. A&m as the tallest building
B. 100,000 new flowers
C. The west side of campus. Where they shovel stuff.
D. The best collegiate baseball stadium.
Three out of ten sir. Not sure what you mean?
