Maybe their staff is more interested in their program
And maybe their administration is more interested in helping their athletic programs. What did the athletic department (that was pretty much broke and had to borrow the money for the football facilities that had NOTHING substantial spent on it during our ADs first decade on the job) have to pay extra to get that absolutely necessary football facilities money to stop the bleeding. Only half the loan.
And boy, was that extortion money well worth the price, have you seen the picture of our old "recruiting room"? And have you noticed the 20 and 30 million a year our athletic department started getting from the SEC distribution every year now? Due mostly to SEC FOOTBALL, and NONE of it from our five years without a bowl game and the two OOC nobody win seasons.
